E) CHECKING AND REPLACING THE BLADE
Always check the state of the blade before commencing work. Do not forget to switch the engine off!
-During work operations if the blade (Fig. 10, ref. A ) strikes stones or stumps stop straightaway and make sure that it has not become bent or broken. A damaged blade must be replaced.
-If the blade is very worn, cracked or bent, it makes snap and projects objects outwards, risking serious accident.
-Use
-The blade fixing screws and relative nuts are also subject to wear. Always replace them at the same time as the blade, using bolts and screws of the same strength and type.
-The blade wears more quickly on dry, sandy ground. In these conditions it should be replaced more frequently.
To remove the blade proceed as follows:
1.Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire
2.Adjust the cutting height to maximum
3.Check the state of the blade.
Check that the blade is not cracked, bent, excessively worn or broken.
