Blades
Caution!
When carrying out maintenance work on or near the blades be
careful of free-swinging blades over-centring and falling. It is recommended
that protective headgear, gloves and goggles are worn.
The blades can be re-sharpened by grinding the cutting edges and care must
be taken that the blades are of the same weight and length after grinding. Do
not over heat when grinding, as this will affect the hardness of the blades.
All the blades are free swinging and swivel on hardened steel bushes, which
are easily replaced. When replacing blades, it is important that blades are
replaced in sets, in order to retain balance of the rotor. Bushes must be
replaced when new blades are to be fitted.
If the blades are showing any signs of severe wear, damage or cracking, they
must be replaced immediately. Never attempt to weld the blades; this will
make them very brittle thus extremely dangerous.
Do not take risks with the cutting blades - if in doubt, replace.
