_ILWARNING! When removing, inspect the
biade carefully. ]f blade is bent or damaged, replace
immediately with a new blade. Failure to replace
a bent or damaged blade could cause an accident
resulting in possible sedous injury.
,, Using a fine-tooth file or stone, sharpen cutting
edges on both ends of the blade, removing equal
amounts of material from both ends.
BALANCING THE BLADE
See Figure 15.

blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause
excessive vibration when the mower is running. This
vibration wil! eventually cause damage to the mower,

shown.
NOTE: ]f a vise is not available, a straight nail driven
into the side of a work bench can also be used.
mPlace the center hole of blade on the screwdriver (or
nail) shank.
If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal
position. If either end of the blade drops downward,
sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced.
