BLADE
Make sure the blade is always sharp. This gives the
best mowing results.
SHARPENING
For safety reasons the blade must not be sharpened
on an emery wheel. Incorrect sharpening (= high
temperature) can result in the blade becoming brit-
tle.
When the blade is due to be sharpened, the wet
grinding method with a waterstone or grindstone is
to be used.
Following sharpening, the blade must
be balanced to avoid vibration damage.
CHANGING BLADE
Always use original spare parts when changing the
blade, blade attachment or bolt.
Always use original spare parts. Using
non-original spare parts can result in
the risk of damage even if they fit in the
machine.
When changing the blade, the blade centre bolt
should also be replaced. It is provided with a lock-
ing device. The blade bolt torque: 65 Nm.
