BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE
REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING
BLADE. ENSURE THAT THE MOWER IS TURNED
OFF.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season
is usually sufficient under normal circumstances.
Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn
has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be
required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade,
removing equal amounts of material from both
ends.
NOTE: Be sure the mower is turned off.

removing the blade.
2. Remove blade from mower. See instructions for
removing and attaching blade.
3. Secure blade I-1 in a vise I-2.
4. Wear safety glasses and be careful not to cut
yourself.
5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a
fine tooth file I-3 or sharpening stone.
6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for
blade balancing.
7. Replace blade on mower and tighten securely.
Refer to instructions below.
BLADE BALANCING (SEE Fig. J)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole
in blade J-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank J-2,
clamped horizontally in a vise J-3. If either end of
the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is
properly balanced when neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. K1, K2)
Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing
or 2 years, whichever is the sooner-regardless of
condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and replace the
blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided) and
a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the blade.
Hold the blade (17) and unscrew the blade bolt (16)
counter-clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then
remove blade.
To re-assemble, position the blade (17) with the
cutting edges towards the ground. Then securely
tighten the blade bolt (16).
STORAGE (See Fig. H1, H2)
Stop the mower and unplug the tool. Clean the
exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush
and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes.
Remove all grass and debris, especially from the
ventilation slots.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade
area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade
area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other
objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage, release the handle knob, and fold the
