Lapping of Reel Cutter (Cutting Cylinder)
Lapping is work similar to sharpening a cooking
knife. If the edges of the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade)
become blunt and make cutting difficult, both the
reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed knife
(bottom blade) should be simultaneously
sharpened by reversing the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) with an abrasive paste applied.
However, lapping is a temporary measure and
would not restore the sharpness completely.
If the edges of the reel cutter (cutting cylinder)
and the bed knife (bottom blade) become blunt
and difficult to cut, follow the steps below to
perform lapping.
Caution
Both the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the
bed knife (bottom blade) are edged tools.
Handle them carefully, since they could cut
your hands or legs.
Caution
Be careful not to inhale exhaust gas during
lapping.
Caution
During lapping, the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) rotates.
Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.

Caution

cylinder) catch your gloves. Otherwise, you
may injure your hand or fingers.

Before adjusting the blade engagement, be
sure to set the reel rotation/stop switching
lever for the reel motor (attached to the
