If the difference between A and B is greater
than 3 mm (1/8 inch), replace the blade with
a new blade; refer to
(page 42)
and
Installing the Blades (page
.
Note:
If a bent blade is replaced with a
new blade, and the dimension obtained
continues to exceed 3 mm (1/8 inch), the
blade spindle could be bent. Contact an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.

If the variance is within constraints, move to
the next blade.
6.
Repeat this procedure on each blade.
