from it before putting it away. Refer to the
'Care and maintenance' section.
Note: To obtain the best results cut your
lawn or grass area regularly and do not
cut when the grass is wet.
If, when grass cutting, loose grass is seen
to be scattering from beneath your mower,
the grassbox is probably full and should
be emptied.

9) BLADE MAINTENANCE

The steel blade is designed to give a fine
finish in long or tough grass. The blade
will continue to cut even when it has
become blunt or burred. There is no need
for it to be razor sharp.
If, however, because of damage or wear
the cutting performance deteriorates, then
your mower may require a new blade, or
at least the existing blade to be sharpened.
We recommend that the steel blade is
sharpened or a new blade fitted at the
beginning of each season.
Warning! When fitting a new blade
use only original replacement part
specified for your mower - do not
attempt to fit any other blade.

from the electrical supply before
changing the blade.
• Turn your mower over on its side so
that the underside of the mower body
(1) is exposed.
• Using a cloth placed over the blade or
heavy duty gloves to protect your
hands, grip the blade and, using the
spanner provided, loosen and remove
the nut (16) from the motor spindle.
Turn the nut in an anti-clockwise
direction to loosen it.
• Fit the blade and special Belleville
washer (Fig. M) back on in the right
direction.
11) HANDY HINTS
• On long grass, above 10cm (4 inches),
use two cuts to get a close finish. We
recommend that the first cut should be
taken with the blade set at maximum
height of cut and the second taken with
it set at medium or close. This will pro-
ve to be easier and give a better overall
finish to your lawn.

12) CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The advice given in this section covers the
general care and maintenance of the main
body of your mower.
Warning! Do not use an extension
cable which shows signs of damage.
Fit a new cable completely - do not
make any permanent or temporary
repairs.
