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.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE
IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade,
removing equal amounts of material from
both ends.
TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE: (Figure Z)
1. Be sure the bail handle is released, the blade
has stopped and safety key and battery pack
removed before removing the blade.
2. Remove blade from mower. See instructions for
removing and installing blade.
3. Secure blade (35) in a vise (38).
4. Wear proper eye protection and gloves and be
careful not to cut yourself.
5. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade
with a fine tooth file (39) or sharpening
stone, maintaining the angle of the original
cutting edge.
6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for
blade balancing.
7. Replace blade on mower and tighten securely.

BLADE BALANCING (Figure Z1)
Check balance of the blade (35) by placing center
hole in the blade over a nail or round shank
screwdriver (40), clamped horizontally in a vise (38).
If either end of the blade rotates downward, file
along the sharp edge of that dropping end. Blade is
properly balanced when neither end drops.

LUBRICATION
No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the wheels.
They have plastic bearing surfaces which require
no lubrication.
CLEANING
Release bail handle (2) to turn mower off, let the
blade come to a stop and then remove safety key.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean
the mower. Clean out any clippings which may
have accumulated on the underside of the deck.
After several uses, check all exposed fasteners
for tightness.
PREVENTING CORROSION
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents
which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals.
If you mow in areas where fertilizers or chemicals
have been used, the mower should be cleaned
immediately afterward as follows:
Release bail handle (2) to turn mower off and
remove safety key and battery. Wipe all exposed
parts with a damp cloth.

DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY WATER ON
THE MOWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN IT. Do not store
the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals. Such
storage can cause rapid corrosion.
