Removing and Fitting the Blade
Switch off, wait until the blade has stopped
rotating and disconnect from the mains electrici-
ty supply BEFORE attempting to remove or refit
the blade.
Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges
could cause injury. USE GLOVES.

4. In the event of a blade becoming difficult to remove,
insert a screwdriver

drive, then use a spanner (13mm A/F) to loosen the
blade bolt by turning the spanner anti-clockwise.
Ensure the screwdriver is removed before atempting
to turn on the machine.
Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2
years whichever is the sooner - regardless of condi-
tion. If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it
with a new one.

blade.
