Cutting Blades

In order to attain the best mowing effect, it is important that the blades are well sharpened and not damaged.

WARNING!

Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth when handling.

Bent or cracked blades or blades with large nicks should be replaced.

Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown. Let the service workshop decide whether the blade can be repaired/ ground or must be replaced.

Balance the blades after sharpening. Check the blade mounts.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The sharpening of blades should be carried out by an authorized service workshop.
