Improper assembly of the blade or other parts of the blade system may cause serious injury.
Warning! Release bail handle to turn mower off, wait for the blade to stop, and unplug mower.
Cut a piece of 2x4 wood (14) (about 610~mm ) to keep blade from turning while removing bolt (13).
Wear gloves and proper eye protection.
Turn the mower on its side. Be careful of sharp edges of blade. Position wood and unscrew bolt with 13mm wrench
(36) as shown in figure 1.
Note the orientation of each part as you remove it. Remove bolt (15) and washer (16). Pull off blade (17) as shown in Figure J. Examine all pieces for damage and replace if necessary.
The blade can only be attached to the fan (20) in one direction. To reassemble, line up the D-shaped hole of the blade with the D-shaped post of the fan, ensuring the writing on the blade faces out away from the mower.
To tighten, position the piece of wood as shown in Figure K to keep the blade from turning. Slide the bolt through the washer and tighten the bolt clockwise into place with a 13mm wrench (13) as shown in Figure K.
Blade sharpening
Keep blade sharp for best mower performance. A dull blade does not cut grass cleanly. Use proper eye protection while removing, sharpening, and installing blade. Ensure that safety key and battery pack is removed.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufficient under normal circumstances.
Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.
Note: Replace bent or damaged blade immediately.
When sharpening the blade:
Make sure blade remains balanced.
Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends.
To sharpen blade in a vice (fig. L)
Be sure the bail handle is released, the blade has stopped and the mower is unplugged before removing the blade.
Remove blade from mower. See instructions for removing and installing blade.
Secure blade (17) in a vice.
