a new blade. Failure to replace a bent or damaged blade could cause an accident resulting in
possible serious injury.
WARNING
MAINTENANCE
25
■ Using a fine-tooth file or sharpening stone, sharpen cutting edges on both ends of the blade,
removing equal amounts of material from both ends.
BALANCING THE BLADE
(See Fig. 26)
When sharpening, care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause
excessive vibration when the mower is running. This vibration will eventually cause damage to the
mower, especially the motor.
To check the blade balance:
■ Clamp a screwdriver horizontally in a vise as shown.
NOTE: If a vise is not available, a straight nail can also be used.
■ Place the center hole of blade on the screwdriver(or nail) shank.
■ If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade drops downward,
sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced.

■ Disconnect the mower from the power supply.

■ Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry off the locking hubcap.

mower deck (17).
