Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually
sufficient under normal circumstances. Sand causes the
blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent
sharpening may be required.
Note: Replace bent or damaged blade immediately.
When sharpening the blade:
Make sure blade remains balanced.
u
Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
u
Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing
u
equal amounts of material from both ends.
To sharpen blade in a vise (fig. Z)
Be sure the bail handle is released, the blade has stopped
u
and safety key and battery pack removed before removing
the blade.
Remove blade from mower. See instructions for removing
u
and installing blade.
Secure blade (35) in a vise (38).
u
Wear proper eye protection and gloves and be careful not
u
to cut yourself. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade
with a fine tooth file (39) or sharpening stone, maintaining
the angle of the original cutting edge. Check balance of
blade. See instructions for blade balancing. Replace blade
on mower and tighten securely.
Blade balancing (fig. Z1)
Check balance of the blade (35) by placing centre hole in the
blade over a nail or round shank screwdriver (40), clamped
horizontally in a vise (38). if either end of the blade rotates
downward, file along the sharp edge of that dropping end.
Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.
Lubrication
No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the wheels. They have
plastic bearing surfaces which require no lubrication.
Cleaning
Release bail handle (2) to turn mower off, let the blade come
to a stop and then remove safety key. Use only mild soap
and a damp cloth to clean the mower. Clean out any clippings
which may have accumulated on the underside of the deck.
After several uses, check all exposed fasteners for tightness.
Preventing corrosion
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. If you mow in areas
where fertilizers or chemicals have been used, the mower
should be cleaned immediately afterward as follows: Release
bail handle (2) to turn mower off and remove safety key and
battery. Wipe all exposed parts with a damp cloth.
