Cutting blade inspection:
For safety, check the cutting blade for wear and damage and check the
tightness of the cutting blade nut before starting the engine. Operating
the grass/weed trimmer with a worn, cracked, or damaged cutting
blade can cause a personal injury or equipment damage. A worn,
cracked or damaged blade can break and pieces of the damaged blade
can hit the operator or bystanders causing death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands, when working around the
cutting blade.
1.Stop the engine with the engine switch to the OFF position.
2.Check the tightness of the cutting blade nut.
Tighten the nut if it is loose (see page 52).
If it is hard to do it yourself, consult your authorized Honda dealer.
3.Check the cutting blade for wear, bend, crack and other damage.
If the blade is worn out, cracked, chipped, or otherwise damaged
replace the damaged blade with new one which is a genuine Honda
replacement cutting blade or its equivalent (see page 52).
A dull blade can be sharpened.
If it is hard to do it yourself, consult your authorized Honda dealer.
