Blade Maintenance - Hyundai HYM3800E Instruction Manual

Maintenance
The Blade
! WARNING
• Never touch a rotating blade.
• Check the blade in order to get a good cut. The blade should always be sharp and well
balanced. At regular intervals, check the tightness of all nuts, bolts and screws.
• If the blade hits an obstacle, check for damage and if the machine vibrates badly, stop the
lawnmower and take it to a service dealer.
• It is best if all interventions on the blade are done at a specialised centre that has the special
tools and equipment.
1
First disconnect the power to the mower.
2 You MUST wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut when working with the blade.
Inspect the blade for chips or a blunt cutting edge.
3
To sharpen the blade you will have to remove it.
4
Using a suitable ring spanner or socket wrench, undo the central bolt by turning anticlockwise.
It will be very tight.
5
You can take the blade for sharpening to a local repair workshop or you can do it yourself
using suitable metal grinding equipment. Please use Eye and Ear protection.
6
If you do it yourself, make sure the blade is balanced by placing a nail through the central hole
and seeing if the blade sits evenly.
7
Check the plastic blade boss/adapter for damage. If your blade has hit a foreign object, the
two lugs which locate the blade may have sheared off. This can be purchased by contacting
Hyundai Power Products Parts Team.
8 Replace the blade and tighten the central bolt very tightly. Only original blades must be used
on this machine.
