cut off 1/3 or less of the grass height.
3) Walk slowly when cutting long grass,
so as to have more effective cutting and
properly discharge the clippings.
4) Avoid cutting wet grass, otherwise it
will stick to the underside of the deck
and the clippings cannot be collected or
discharged properly.
5) A higher cutting height shall be applied to
new or thick grass and it will extend the
battery duration.

any necessary maintenance or repairs before

BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE
REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING
BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS
REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing
season is usually sufficient under normal
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull
quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more
frequent sharpening may be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of
blade, removing equal amounts of material

from both ends.
NOTE:
1. Be sure the mower is turned off and
remove the key.
2. Place the mower in stand up storage mode.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (SEE Fig.
M1)
1. Be sure the bail handle is released, the
blade has stopped and the safety key
removed before removing the blade.
2. Remove blade from mower. See
instructions for removing and attaching
blade.
3. Secure blade M1-1 in a vise M1-2.
4. Wear safety glasses and be careful not to
cut yourself.
5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade
with a fine tooth file M1-3 or sharpening
stone.
6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for
blade balancing.
7. Replace blade on mower and tighten
securely. Refer to instructions below.
BLADE BALANCING (SEE Fig.M2)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole
in blade M2-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank
M2-2, clamped horizontally in a vise M2-3. If
either end of the blade rotates downward, file
that end. Blade is properly balanced when
neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (SEE FIG. N1, N2)
Renew your metal blade after 50 hours
mowing or 2 years, which ever is the sooner-
regardless of condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and
replace the blade. You will need garden gloves
(not provided) and a spanner wrench (not
provided) to remove the blade. Hold the blade
(19) and unscrew the blade bolt (18) counter-
clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then
remove blade.
