Checking for Bent Blades
Note:
The machine must be on a level surface for
the following procedure.

height-of-cut position.
2. While wearing thickly padded gloves, or other
adequate hand protection, slowly rotate the
blade to be measure into a position that allows
effective measurement of the distance between
the cutting edge and the level surface the
machine is on (Figure
1. Deck
2. Spindle housing
