REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE
WARNING! USE GLOVES.
- Before you remove the grass collection bag, stop the engine
and wait until the blade stops completely.
- You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner
wrench to remove the blade.
- Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could cause
injury.
- Don’t hold the blade by hand directly.
Replace your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or after
2 years, which ever is sooner regardless of condition.
Regularly check your blade. If the cut of your grass is poor, the
blade might be blunt. Damaged blades not only result in a bad
cut, they cause excessive vibration and uneconomical running
of the engine. If the blade has worn excessively and become
pitted and blunt, it should be replaced or sharpened.
NOTE!
The blade carrier is designed to break under heavy
blade impact to protect the machine. If this happens, also
replace the blade carrier. This can be purchased from

Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt by 40 N
