Check balance of blade by putting it on a blade
balancer. (An inexpensive balancer can be purĆ
chased at a hardware store.) A balanced blade will
stay in a horizontal position on the balancer. By conĆ
trast, a blade that is not balanced will settle to the
heavy side. If blade is not balanced, file more materiĆ
al off cutting edge of the blade. Continue to file and
check the blade until it is balanced.
In sequence, install blade, blade stiffener, curved
washer and blade bolt (Fig. 19). The concave side of
the curved washer must point toward the blade.
Tighten blade bolt to 45Ć60 ftĆlb (61Ć81 N m).
