Blade Servicing
Note:
Deck must be removed
to service blades. See Deck
Removal.
Wear heavy gloves when
handling or working around
cutting blades. Blades are
extremely sharp and can
cause severe injury.
WARNING
2 If the blade is in good condition, sharpen at 22 to
28 degrees.
3 DO NOT sharpen beyond existing cutting edge.
4 After sharpening the blades, check to make sure
they are balanced. Place the center hole of the
blade on a nail lubricated with a drop of oil. A
balanced blade will remain level. If necessary,
correct blade balance by grinding the heavy end
of the blade.
1 To remove blade, use a block of wood to prevent
blade rotation while loosening capscrew.
