TO SHARPEN BLADE

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause

eventual damage to lawn mower or motor.

•The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.

°To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or wall Leave about one inch of the

straight nail exposed. Place center hole of blade over the head of the nail. If blade is

balanced, it should remain in a horizontal position.. If either end of the blade moves

downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.
