To Replace The Blade - Yardworks 060-1330-4 Guide D'utilisation

TO EXAMINE THE BLADE
WARNING: ALWAYS stop the engine
before you do work on the blade. The
blade continues to rotate after the
throttle has been released. Make sure
that the blade is fully stopped and
disconnect the spark plug cap before
you start work.
CAUTION: For best results, keep the
blade sharpened. Replace damaged
blades immediately. DO NOT use a
mower with damaged blade.
• Examine the blade for cracks and other damage.
A damaged blade must always be replaced.
• Always make sure that the blade is correctly
ground and balanced. To examine blade balance,
use a 7/8" (22 mm) diameter steel bolt, pin or a
cone balancer. Obey the instructions included with
the balancer.
• DO NOT use a nail to balance the blade. The
lobes of the centre hole are not centred.
• Move the blade onto
an unthreaded part
of the steel bolt or
pin, and hold the bolt
or pin parallel to the
ground. If the blade
is balanced, it stays
in the horizontal
position.
If one of the two ends
of the blade moves
down, sharpen the
heavy end until the
blade is correctly
balanced.
NOTE: The blades must be balanced after
sharpening. DO NOT sharpen or balance the blade on
your own. Speak to an approved service workshop.

TO REPLACE THE BLADE

WARNING: Use gloves and/or wind the
blade with a heavy cloth to prevent injury
to your hands.
CAUTION: Only use a replacement blade
from an approved manufacturer. Using a
a blade not approved by the
manufacturer is dangerous and can
cause damage to the product and void
the warranty.
1. Always disconnect the spark plug before you do
maintenance.
2. Always empty the fuel tank before you put
the product on its side. Empty the fuel tank by

sure that the air filter
is always put in the
highest position.
4. Use a wood block
between the blade
and the mower
housing to prevent
the blade from turning
when removing the
blade bolt.
