Replacing the Blade

Service Interval: Yearly—Replace the blade or have
it sharpened (more frequently if the
edge dulls quickly).
Important: You will need a torque wrench to install
the blade properly . If you do not have a torque
wrench or are uncomfortable performing this
procedure, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline. If
the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately.
If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened and
balanced, or replace it.
WARNING
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result
in serious personal injury.
Wear gloves when servicing the blade.
