Fig. M2
A slightly worn blade may be resharpened.
Both blade edges must be sharpened
equally to ensure balance. Sharpen the
blade every 25 mowing hours or more
frequently if conditions require.
Remove the blade from the mower and
clean using a brush and water.
Inspect the blade for signs of damage.
Sharpen both cutting edges with a flat
file to restore performance.
Ensure that the blade is balanced. Use
a screw driver with a round shaft to
support the blade through its centre
hole. Hold the blade horizontal and then
release. A balanced blade will remain
horizontal.
If the blade is not balanced the heavy
end will rotate downwards. Sharpen the
heavy end until the blade is correctly
balanced.
