result in personal injury.
Stay away from the reel while backlapping.
Never use a short handled paint brush for
backlapping. Part No. 29-9100 Handle assembly

your local Authorized Toro Distributor.
Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front
face of the bedknife when the lapping operation is
completed. This will remove any burrs or rough edges that
may have built up on the cutting edge.
