Inspection of the blade

rust or corrosion.

Note: A dull blade can be sharpened! But a blade that

is worn, bent, cracked or otherwise damaged must be

replaced.

If you remove the blade to sharpen or replace it, you

must use some heavy gloves to protect your hands.

1. Loosen the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to

prevent the blade from turning around.

2. Remove the bolt, washer, blade and blade

holder in that order

3. Sharpen or replace the blade.

4. Insert the blade holder, blade, washer and bolt

in that order.

5. Tighten the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to

Warning: A blade must be sharpened so it is in

100 % balance, otherwise it may cause vibrations that

could damage the engine. Damage to engine due to

faulty sharpening is not covered by warranty. We

therefore recommend letting a service center sharpen
