Cutting Blades
For the best mowing results, 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.
