MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Warning
WARNING:
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves or wrapping the cutting edges with rags
or other materials when performing any maintenance on the mower blade. Always remove the battery packs
when servicing or transporting the mower.
WARNING:
Use proper eye protection while removing, sharpening, and installing the blade.
WARNING:
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break and pieces of the damaged blade can become
dangerous projectiles. Thrown objects can cause serious injury. Inspect the blade regularly and do not operate
the mower with a worn or damaged blade.
NOTICE:
Keep the blade sharp for best mower performance. A dull blade does not cut grass cleanly or mulch
properly.
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is excessively worn, bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged must
be replaced. A worn or damaged blade can break, causing blade pieces to be thrown from the mower.
If the blades are found to be bent, take the lawn mower to an authorized service center for inspection.
SHARPENING FREQUENCY
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufficient under normal circumstances. Sand
causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
• Make sure that the blade remains balanced.
• Sharpen the blade at the original cutting angle.
• Sharpen the cutting edges on both ends of the blade, removing an equal amount of material from each end.
