Blade Care
KNOB
For best results mower blades must be kept sharp° The
blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or on
a grinding wheel We suggest they be sharpened after
every24 hours of mowing. Do not attempt to sharpen while
on mower, ff you mow in sandy soil check the blades after
each two reDwings. The sand wears the blades away
rapidly,
