GB ENGLISH CHANGING BLADES Wear protective gloves when changing blade(s) to avoid cutting yourself. Check the blade system regularly. Check particularly the curved area behind the blade edge for traces of wear. If the blade shows traces of damage it should be replaced. A worn blade creates imbalance and can damage the mower.
