Toro Lawn-Boy Quality of Cut Manual, 2002

Inspecting and Sharpening the Blade
Overview
This section describes how to remove, inspect,
sharpen, balance, and install a blade.
Blade condition is a key factor in quality of cut. The
blade should always be straight and sharp. A sharp
blade produces a clean, neat cut and helps ensure
healthy grass plants. A dull blade tears and shreds
grass, producing a poor quality of cut and damaging
the grass plants.
Note: For best performance, install a new blade before
the cutting season begins. During the year, file down
any small nicks to maintain the cutting edge.

Removing the Blade
Note: On walk behind mowers, while the blade is
attached to the mower, move the blade as little as
possible to avoid future starting problems.

stop.

3.

Walk behind mowers: Drain the fuel and oil from
the engine. Tip the mower on its side, air filter up.

Loosen the blade fastener(s). The blade fasteners
differ from mower to mower. Some mowers use a
bolt and a lock washer; some use a bolt or a nut
with a locking patch or locking material in the
threads. Bolt size varies by mower model and size
of blade. Always use the proper size wrench to
remove the bolt or nut. An adjustable wrench can
easily open and slip.
Grasp the end of the blade using a rag or a thickly
padded glove. Remove the blade bolt (or nut) and
the other component (Figure 3 and Figure 4).
