23.2 Inspecting the Mowing Blade

WARNING
Never use a dull or damaged mowing blade. Working with a
dull blade leads to increased vibration, unsatisfactory cutting
results and increased wear, in particular if you use the lawn
mower on sandy ground or use it frequently under dry
conditions. A damaged mowing blade may vibrate, crack,
break or come off the lawn mower, which may result in
serious or fatal injury or property damage. Make sure the
mowing blade is sharp and in good condition before starting
work.
WARNING
The mowing blade has sharp edges. If it contacts your flesh,
it may cut you, even if it is not moving. Always wear heavy-
duty work gloves when inspecting or otherwise handling the
mowing blade, @ 5.5.
To inspect the mowing blade:
► Switch off the lawn mower, @ 15.2.
► Remove the fuse key and battery, @ 13.2 and @ 14.2.
► Place the lawn mower on a flat surface.
► Set the cutting height to position 4, @ 18.1.
► Fold down the handle, @ 12.2.
