Maintenance and Care / Resuming Operation
Sharpening Blade
WARNING!
A cutting tool (blade) that produces vibrations
must be replaced without fail. Do not attempt to
true the blade yourself, as you may get it out of
balance. This can cause an accident and create the
hazard of further damage to the mower.
Blade grinding is rarely necessary, since the blade is
manufactured from a specially hardened steel.
If it becomes necessary to resharpen your blade,
please bring it to us or to a dealer in your area.
