SHARPENING THE BLADE
For best mowing performance, the mower blade must be kept sharp. A dull blade does not cut
grass evenly and overloads the motor. Under normal circumstances, sharpening the blade twice
during the mowing season is usually sufficient. However, if your lawn has sandy soil, more
frequent sharpenings may be required.
• Following the instructions in the Replacing the Cutting Blade section, remove the mower blade.
DO NOT attempt to sharpen the blade while it is attached to the mower.
