To reduce the possibility of weakening the blade, or causing
imbalance or poor cutting performance, sharpening should be
performed by an authorized Honda weed mower dealer.
Use a genuine Honda replacement blade, or equivalent.
Never operate the weed mower with a blade that is cracked or
notched at the base of its upturned rear edge.
Never operate the weed mower with a worn or damaged blade.
Severe personal injury can result if a piece of blade breaks off and is
thrown from under the cutter deck.

Inspect the blade for signs of wear or damage.
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, bent,
cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. If the blade needs
sharpening or replacement, take the cutter deck to your authorized
Honda weed mower dealer. Or, if you have the proper tools, you can
remove and install the blades yourself. (see blade removal and
installation instructions on pages
,
).
Check that the blade bolts are properly tightened.
Blade wear will be accelerated when operating the mower in
conditions where sand or loose soil are present. Frequent blade
inspection should be performed when a mower is operated under
these conditions.
