To change blades, loosen the blade bolt. Mount the
new blade so that it sits in the same way as the old
one and tighten the blade bolt (fig. 26). Tightening
torque: 45 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade bolt should
also be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into ob-
stacles.
When replacing the blade, the blade holder and
blade bolt, always use original spare parts. Non-
authentic spare parts could lead to the risk of per-
sonal injury or damage, even if they fit the ma-
chine.
SHARPENING OF THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
For the sake of safety, the blades should not be
sharpenedonanemerywheel.Averyhightemper-
ature could cause the blade to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced so as to avoid vi-
bration damage (fig. 27).
