Checking the Blades

WARNING:

Protect your hands with gloves when working with the blades. Risk of cutting.

It is important that the blades are undamaged and well-ground to give the best mowing result.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Replacement or sharpening of the blades should be carried out by an authorised service representative.

The blades should be balanced after sharpening.

Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown. Let the servicing dealer judge whether the blade can be repaired/ ground or must be discarded.

WARNING:

If the blades are cracked, whether caused by poor repair or other damage, they could break while being used. Cracked and defective blades must always be replaced. The risk increases if the blades are poorly balanced.
