Replacing the Blade

Service Interval: Yearly—Replace the blade or have
it sharpened (more frequently if the
edge dulls quickly).
Important:
You will need a torque wrench to
install the blade properly. If you do not have a
torque wrench or are uncomfortable performing
this procedure, contact an Authorized Service
Dealer.
Examine the blade whenever you run out of fuel. If the
blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately.
If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened
and balanced, or replace it.
WARNING
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can
result in serious personal injury.
Wear gloves when servicing the blade.
