These steps are applicable to battery lawn mowers.

⚠️WARNING: Lock the blade with a block of wood to prevent injury to fingers when you replace the blade. The blade can be moved when the motor is off and fingers can become trapped between the blade and stationary parts.

⚠️WARNING: Use heavy-duty gloves. The blade is very sharp and cuts can easily occur.

1. Lock the blade with a block of wood.
   

2. Remove the blade bolt, the spring washer and the blade.
   

3. Examine the blade support and blade bolt to see if there are damages.

4. Examine the motor shaft to make sure that it is not bent.

5. When you attach the new blade, point the angled ends of the blade in the direction of the cutting cover.
   

6. Make sure that the blade is aligned with the centre of the motor shaft.

7. Lock the blade with a block of wood. Attach the spring washer and tighten the bolt and washer with the correct torque specific for your lawn mower. Refer to the operator’s manual.
   

8. Pull the blade around by hand and make sure that it turns freely.

9. Start the product to do a test of the blade. If the blade is not correctly attached, there is vibration in the product or the cutting result is unsatisfactory.
