• Use only sharp blades. Replace damaged blades.

• Squeeze the handle of the Blade Removal Tool. The locking tabs on each side of the blade will be pressed Pull blade assembly off, away from mower.

When reinstalling the blade, line up the mating splines and push until a firm click is heard, indicating a proper seating of the blade onto the shaft.
