REMOVING CUTTER BLADE
The blade must be replaced if a solid object is hit, the blade
is out of balance or if the blade is bent. Always use genuine
TORO replacement blades to be sure of safety and optimum
performance. Never use replacement blades made by other
manufacturers because they could be dangerous.
Do not try to straighten a blade that is bent, and never
weld a broken or cracked blade. Always use a new
blade to assure continued safety certification of the
product.
