LUBRICATING MOWER

Your Remington brand mower does not need
to be lubricated. Please do not lubricate the
mower.

BALANCING MOWER BLADE

WARNING
Always wear gloves to protect
your hands from the sharp edges
of the blade. Wear safety glasses
to protect your eyes while sharp-
ening blade.
An out-of-balance blade causes the mower to
vibrate excessively. Excessive vibration may
cause damage to the mower, especially the
motor and electrical connections.
Because you are removing metal from the blade
when sharpening, make sure to remove an
equal amount from each side to keep the blade
balanced. The best way to balance a blade is
with a blade balancer (available at most local
hardware stores), or with a large screwdriver,
nail, or bolt.
Tools Needed:
• Heavy work gloves
• Blade balancer, or a large screwdriver,
nail, or bolt
1. After sharpening the blade, hang it on the
balancer and check the level.
If one side of the blade tips lower, sharpen
that side a little at a time until the blade is
balanced.
2. When sharpening a used blade, be espe-
cially careful to keep it balanced. If in
doubt, replace the blade with a new one.
Note: Blade sharpening services are also avail-
able. Contact a local mower service center or
check the local yellow pages.

SHARPENING MOWER BLADE

When the blade is dull, the cut ends of the grass
will be ragged and may turn brown soon after
mowing. A dull blade also causes the battery
to discharge more quickly. When this occurs,
sharpen the blade (as long as the blade is oth-
erwise in good condition).
