SHARPENING THE BLADE
WARNING:
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves or wrapping
the cutting edges with rags or other materials when performing any maintenance on
the mower blade. Always remove the safety key and battery pack when servicing or
transporting the mower.
WARNING:
Use proper eye protection while removing, sharpening, and installing
blade.
WARNING:
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break, and piece of the
damaged blade can become dangerous projectiles. Thrown objects can cause serious
injury. Inspect the blade regularly, and do not operate the mower with a worn or
damaged blade.
NOTICE: Keep the blade sharp for best mower performance. A dull blade does not cut
grass cleanly or mulch properly.
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is excessively worn, bent, cracked, or
otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or damaged blade can break, causing
blade pieces to be thrown from the mower.
If the blades are found to be bent, take the lawn mower to an authorized EGO service
center for inspection.
SHARPING FREQUENCY
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufcient under normal
circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull quickly; if your lawn has sandy soil, more
frequent sharpening may be required.
