Cleaning The Mower - LawnMaster CLMFR6046A Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE
To check the blade balance:
■ Clamp a screwdriver horizontally in a vise as shown.
NOTE: If a vise is not available, a straight nail can also be used.
■ Place the centre hole of blade on the screwdriver (or nail) (Fig. 26).
■ If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade drops
downward, sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced.
