Blade Sharpening
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE. A DULL
BLADE DOES NOT CUT GRASS CLEANLY.
WARNING: Use gloves and proper eye protection while
removing, sharpening, and installing blade. Ensure that
safety key and battery pack are 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
•
Make sure blade remains balanced.
•
Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
•
Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing
equal amounts of material from both ends.
