OPERATIONAL TIPS (120 VOLT MODELS)
3.
EXAMINING BLADE - Carefully examine blade for
sharpness and wear, especially where flat and
curved parts meet. Since sand and abrasive
material can wear away the metal that connects
the flat and curved parts of the blade, check blade
before using the mower. If a slot or wear is
noticed replace blade (Figure 10). Refer to step 4.
4.
REMOVING BLADE - Grasp end of blade using a
rag or thickly padded glove. Remove blade bolt,
washer and blade (Figure 11).
Note: For best performance, install new blade
before cutting season begins. During the year, file
down small nicks to maintain the cutting edge.

5.
SHARPENING BLADE - Using a file, sharpen top
side of blade and maintain original cutting angle
(Figure 12). The blade will remain balanced if
same amount of material is removed from both
cutting edges.
IMPORTANT: Check balance of blade by
putting it on a blade balancer. An inexpensive
balancer can be purchased at a hardware
store. A balanced blade stays in a horizontal
position and an unbalanced blade settles to
the heavy side. If blade is not balanced, file
more metal off cutting edge on heavy end of
blade.
