Answer/comment
Replace when worn to 1 1/2" from the cutting edge to the
back edge.
Sharpen blade from top only. Maintain a flat lower surface.
Sharpen sides of blade from outside only.
If the operator tries to cut deeper than 2 1/2", pivoting the
machine back on its rear wheels while cutting can cause
machine to cut too deeply.
Make sure the blade is sharp.,

Replace with a Husqvarna belt.

Run the machine with the blade engaged until the belt
