Cutting Blades

To attain the best mowing effect, it is important that
blades are well sharpened and not damaged.
Replace blades that have been bent or cracked when
hitting obstacles.
Let the service workshop decide whether a blade
with large nicks can be repaired/ground or must be
replaced. Balance the blades after sharpening.
Check the blade mounts.
