wipe out any accumulation of grass in the blade
area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the blade.
Clean often in wet, new grass, and always after
every use.
4. Certain types of grass or grass conditions may
require that an area be mulched a second time
to fully disperse the grass throughout the lawn.
If cutting a second time, it is advisable to cut
perpendicular (across) the first cut pattern. DO
NOT CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT
WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN A HILL.
5. Change your cutting pattern from week to week.
This will help prevent matting and graining of
the lawn.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to unclog the
blade chamber by dropping or tapping the
tool on the ground. This can damage the unit. Keep
hands clear of blade when cleaning.

BLADE (13) SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER
PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT CUT
GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.
WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE
REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING
BLADE.
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(See Fig. I)
1. Make sure blade remains balanced.
2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.
3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade to
keep it balanced, removing equal amounts of
material from both ends.
NOTE: 1. Be sure the mower is turned off and
unplugged.
2. Place the mower in stand up storage mode.
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. J)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in
12AMP Electric Lawn Mower
blade J-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank J-2,
clamped horizontally in a vise J-3. If either end of
the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is
properly balanced when neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. K1, K2)
Replace your metal Blade (13) after 50 hours
mowing or 2 years, which ever is the sooner-
regardless of condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and replace the
Blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided)
and a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the
Blade. Hold the Blade and unscrew the Blade Bolt
(12) counter-clockwise using a spanner wrench, and
then remove the Blade.
To re-assemble, position the Blade with the cutting
edges towards the ground. Then securely tighten the
Blade Bolt.
