10.7.3 INSPECT THE MOWER BLADES
A worn or damaged mower blade has the potential to break, leading to fragments being propelled into the operator's
or bystander's area, causing severe personal harm or death. Inspect it before each use. Halt operation if the mower
hits an object and inspect for damage.
Mower blades are sharp. Always wear gloves when handling or working near mower blades.
•
Remove the mower blade from the mower. See Remove the Blades (Reference ).
•
Inspect the mower blades to assess whether they are blunt and require sharpening or display signs of damage
and should be replaced. Blades showing cracks, corrosion, rust, excessive wear or bending should be discarded.
10.7.4 INSTALL THE MOWER BLADES
Mower blades are sharp. Always wear gloves when handling or working near mower blades.
