Sharpening and balancing the blade (Illustration Q )
WARNING
The sharpening and balancing of the blade should be carried out only by an authorized specialist workshop, since
according to the applicable standard DIN EN 60335, an insulation test must always be carried out following repairs
or maintenance work to insulating components (e.g. blade screws).
An improperly sharpened or unbalanced blade can cause severe vibrations, and damage the lawnmower.
The cutting edges of the blade must only be ground down to the mark (1) (see illustration Q ) on the blade (ring). Warning!
Keep to a grinding angle of 30°.
Your professional workshop can check this value - (grinding limit) for you!
WARNING
A blade by which the wear limit (marking) has been exceeded can break off and spin away; this can cause severe
injuries.
Replacing the blade
WARNING
The cutter bar must always be replaced by an authorised workshop since an insulation protection test always has to
be carried out after repairs and maintenance work on insulation parts (e.g. blade screw) in accordance with the
applicable standard DIN EN 60335.
In addition, a wrongly assembled cutting blade coupling can allow the cutter bar to become loose, which can lead to
serious injuries.
– Only use original blades for replacement purposes.
– Blades must be indelibly marked with name and/or trademark of the manufacturer or supplier and with the parts number.
Servicing the wheels (Illustration S )
Oil the bearings of the wheels once a year or every 50 operating hours.
– Remove wheel covers.
– Loosen the hexagon head nuts using a socket wrench and remove the wheels.
– After oiling the bearings, push the wheels on and tighten them again so that they still turn easily but without any play.
