Turn the machine carefully onto its right side and inspect the blade. If blunt or damaged, replace it.
Use the following procedure to remove and replace the blade:
Wear thick gardening gloves. Hold the blade and using a spanner (not provided) loosen the blade bolt

correct way up (so that the blade number can be seen) and tighten the bolt securely.
If the blade is difficult to remove or fit, insert a screwdriver into the hole to help prevent blade rotation.
Ensure the screwdriver is removed before attempting to turn the machine on.
