easiest to remove immediately after mowing.

Before rectifying faults, wait for the cutting tool to
stop, wear suitable work gloves and pull out the
mains plug.
Blades with chipped edges must be replaced and may
not be reground because this causes the mower to be
out of balance.
The blade may only be replaced by GARDENA Service
or a specialist dealer authorised by GARDENA.
Only an original GARDENA blade may be used. GARDENA spares
are available from your GARDENA dealer or via GARDENA
