Chapter 1: Important Safety Considerations
We want you to enjoy years of safe and productive use from your NEUTON Battery-Powered Mower. We do not want
you injured, so please take a few moments to read the following instructions for safely operating your new Machine.
Protecting Yourself and Those around You
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the Mower
and the activity of mowing. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet, and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety
instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Never allow children, other bystanders, or pets in your work area
when operating the Mower. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.
• Only allow responsible individuals who have a thorough understanding of these instructions to operate the Mower.
Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Before and while pulling the machine backwards, look behind and down for small children and for secure footing. Be sure
to shut off the Motor before pulling the machine backwards.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.
• If you are ever unsure about an action you are about to take, please do not do it.
Dressing Appropriately
• Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields when using your NEUTON Mower to protect your eyes
from possible thrown objects. Use a face or dust mask when operating in dusty conditions.
• Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your machine. If you have safety shoes, wear them. Do not use the Mower
while barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Wear long pants while mowing.

Preparing to Use Your Mower
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the Mower before starting.
• Never operate the NEUTON Mower without the proper guards, safety switches, or other safety and protective devices in
place and properly connected. Inspect the machine and cutting blade to determine proper installation of these devices,
and they are in good repair, and operate properly. If the condition or operation of these devices is questionable, you must
repair them or replace them before using the machine.
• Follow the instructions for the proper installation and operation of accessories. Use only accessories approved by the
manufacturer. Do not alter any aspect of the Mower, Attachments, or Accessories in any way. Modifying or changing your
Mower or its Attachments and Accessories in any way could cause personal injuries and property damage, and will void
your warranty.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where you will be using the Mower, and remove all stones, lawn toys, wire, bones, sticks, pet
supplies, and any other foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the Mower blade. Objects struck by the
Mower Blade can cause severe injuries. Also, note the location of holes, ruts, bumps, stumps, and other possible hazards
to avoid.
• Never turn the Mower over while the motor is running. The Blade may throw objects or come loose and cause injury.
• Mow only in daylight or in an area well lit by artificial light.
• Do not charge the Mower battery in wet or rainy conditions.
Operating Your Mower Safely
Your Mower can operate as a Discharging, Mulching, or Bagger Mower. Learn how to use the Side Discharge Chute, Mulching
Plug, and Rear Bagger as appropriate.
• Always stop the Motor, wait for the Blade to stop moving, and remove the Safety Key whenever you leave the operating
position (behind the handlebar) for any reason. In addition, remove the Battery when inspecting and cleaning the
machine, performing routine maintenance, clearing grass, making adjustments, and attaching or removing accessories.
• Never insert the Safety Key into the Mower until you are ready to operate the Mower. Store the Safety Key away from
children and people not authorized to use the Mower.
• The Cutting Blade always turns when the Motor is running. To quickly stop the machine’s Motor – simply release the
orange Control Bar. Remember that the Blade will continue to rotate for up to three (3) seconds after you release the
Control Bar.
• Always stop the Motor completely before changing modes (Mow/Auxiliary).
• Do not put your hands or feet near or under the rotating Blade. Keep clear of the discharge area at all times.
• Never operate the Mower in the rain or when the grass is wet. Always be sure of your footing.
• Keep a firm hold on the Handlebar, and walk – never run.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
• Watch out for traffic when mowing near roadways.
• Stop the Motor when crossing over loose materials such as gravel drives, walks, or roads, as objects discharged by the
Mower can be hazardous.
• Do not operate the machine when you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
• Remove the Safety Key when the machine is not in use.

NEUTON CE6.3 Battery-Powered Mower - Safety&OperatingInstructions 3
• Keep the Blade cutting edges sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. To be sure the Mower is in safe
operating condition, keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Follow the instructions in this manual for changing accessories.
• Never pull the Mower toward you while cutting grass. By design, you should only push the NEUTON Mower forward
while cutting.
• Use extreme caution when maneuvering backwards. Always stop the Motor, look first to check your footing, look down
and behind you before moving backwards.
• If you strike a foreign object, or if the Mower vibrates abnormally, stop the motor, remove the Safety Key and Battery, and
inspect the machine for any damage. Repair the damage before restarting and operating the machine. Striking an object
may loosen the blade. Note: Excessive vibration is generally a sign of trouble.
• Do not use your NEUTON Mower for any job other than the intended use.
• Do not operate the machine if it does not start normally or stop normally when you release the Control Bar.
• Empty the rear Bagger of all debris following each use. The fabric will wear and deteriorate under normal usage. Before
each use, check the Bagger for wear and replace if it is torn or worn.
Handling the Battery Safely
• Never charge the lawn mower Battery in the rain or in wet conditions.
• Use only an approved 36-Volt NEUTON Charger to charge the Battery. Make sure that the NEUTON Charger output
voltage printed on the Charger label matches the voltage of your Battery. Use of a different Charger may not allow the
Battery to fully recharge and may cause a fire or explosion. Use of a non-approved NEUTON Charger will void your
warranty.
• Exercise care in handling the Battery in order not to short-circuit it with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. When short-circuited, the Battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
• Never attempt to alter or open the Battery. Opening your Battery will void your warranty and could result in an unsafe
condition or risk of personal injury. Use normal household voltage (110 Volts) when charging the Battery. Plug the
Charger directly into the electrical outlet.
• Never attempt to replace the individual Battery cells inside the Battery. Mixing fresh and discharged Batteries could
increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged Battery. Improper wiring within the Battery could result in
leakage or explosion.
• Never dispose of Batteries in a fire, as the Battery cells may explode. Never open or mutilate the Battery. Released
electrolyte (battery acid) is corrosive and will cause damage to eyes, skin, or clothes. Battery acid is toxic if swallowed or if
you inhale the fumes.
• Never throw away used Batteries in your household trash. Bring them to a recycling center or household hazardous
waste depot for proper disposal. Please refer to “Recycling your used Battery” on page 15 for more information.
NOTE: See additional details on Battery care in “Chapter 4: Charging and Caring for the Battery”.
No list of Warnings and Cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur not covered by this manual, the operator must apply
common sense and operate the NEUTON Mower in a safe manner. Visit our website at www.neutonpower.com or call Toll

Step 4: Charge the Battery before your first use.
• Risk of electric shock; do not touch the non-insulated portion of the output connector or the non-insulated Battery terminal.
• Use the NEUTON 36V Charger only with the NEUTON 36V Battery. Use of other Chargers or the NEUTON 36V Charger with
other types of Batteries may result in bursting of the Battery, which could cause personal injury and property damage.
You MUST charge the Battery for at least ten (10) to twelve (12) hours maximum before you use the Mower for the first time. If
you do not charge it before using the Mower, the Battery’s charging capacity may decrease.
NOTE: Always charge the Battery while it is out of the Mower.
1. Remove the Protective Plug from the Charger Receptacle on the Battery and
plug in the round Charger Connector (Figure 9).
2. Plug the Charger into a standard 110V wall outlet. The RED light on the
Battery will illuminate indicating a connection between the Battery and the
Charger. The LED light on the Charger will quickly change from GREEN to
RED indicating that the Battery is charging.
3. After ten (10) to twelve (12) hours, the Battery should be completely
recharged. The LED on the Battery will not turn off or change colors.
NOTE: The LED on the Charger may not have changed to GREEN and may still be
RED after twelve (12) hours of charging. This does not mean that the
Battery is not completely charged. Do not charge any longer than 12
hours.
4. Remove the Charger from the Battery and from your standard 110-Volt wall outlet and place both the Battery and
the Charger in a DRY environment for storage until you need them again.
NOTE: For the first five (5) hours, the Charger may be warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Step 5: Attach the Side Discharge Chute, Mulching Plug, or Rear Bagger.
Side Discharge Chute
The Side Discharge Chute (Figure 10) allows for proper discharge of the grass, which prevents clogging. The Chute shipped
without the Handle so you will have to install the Handle prior to use using a small Phillips Screwdriver. The Handle and Screw
are located in the Product Pack bag that shipped with the Mower.
1. Raise the hinged Discharge Guard on the back of the Mower (Figure 10).
2. Orient the Discharge Chute as shown in Figure 10.
Position the two (2) Hangers on the Chute over the
Support Rod and lower the Chute into place
(Figure 10).
3. Lower the hinged Discharge Guard.

Mulching Plug
To mulch your grass, install the Mulching Plug.
1. If necessary, remove the Rear Bagger or Side Discharge Chute from the
Mower.
2. Install the Mulching Plug (Figure 11). Be sure to push the Plug all the way in.
There’s a slight knack to installing the Plug; push the Plug in
with a slightly arcing motion as follows:
• Align the Plug in the Mower.
• Start to push the top of the Plug in first.
• Then put pressure towards the bottom and slide in the Plug.
Rear Bagger
The NEUTON Rear Bagger lets you cut and catch your grass clippings, eliminating the need to rake. The Rear Bagger
easily attaches to the rear of the Mower (Figure 12). The Bagger shipped unassembled. The following instructions
outline the steps necessary to assemble, install, and remove the Bagger.
Assembling the Bag to the Bag Frame
1. With the Bottom Stiffener Board facing down, insert the Frame into the Bag (Figure 13).
2. Snap the Bag Clips around the Frame top, sides and bottom (Figure 14) to secure the Bag to the Frame.
Installing the Bagger
1. Raise the Discharge Guard on your Mower (Figure 15) and note the metal Support Rod at the rear of the Mower.
2. Grasp the Bagger by the Top Handle (Figure 16) and center it at the back of the Mower.
3. Align the Metal Latch Hooks (Figure 16)over the Support Rod (Figure 17) and lower the Bagger in place until the Wire
Frame at the bottom of the Bagger rests on the Mower. Lower the Discharge Guard.

Removing and Emptying the Bagger
1. Raise the Discharge Guard and using the Top Handle of the Bagger, lift the
Bagger off the Support Rod and away from the Mower. Lower the
Discharge Guard.
2. To empty the Bagger, tilt the Top Handle forward. Use the Cloth Handle
(Figure 18) at the rear of the Bagger to move the contents toward the front
as you empty the Bagger.
Step 6: Insert the Battery after being fully charged.
1. Orient the Battery as shown in Figure 19. Align the black side of the Battery with the side of the Mower housing where the
label reads “Insert Battery with the black side along this edge.”
NOTE: The indentations on the bottom of the Battery must line up with the metal tabs in the bottom of the Battery compartment. A
new replacement battery now has a gold faceplate (originally black as seen in Figures 19 and 20 below).
2. After confirming the correct orientation of the Battery, insert the Battery fully into the Battery compartment.
3. Turn the Battery Retainer Arm back over on top of the Battery to secure it in place (Figure 20).
If the Battery is not oriented correctly, it will not fully depress into the opening. If this happens, remove the Battery, recheck the
orientation, and try again.

Step 7: Adjusting the Cutting Height.
Using the Cutting Height Lever located under the Access Cover (Figure 21), adjust the Cutting Height so that you cut off only
one (1) to two (2) inches of grass at a time.
1. Open the Access Cover and remove the Safety Key.
2. Make sure all four (4) Wheels are level.
3. Push the Lever out of its present notched position and move
the Lever up or down to the desired level. When you reach the
desired level, simply release the Lever into the notch.
To easily move the Cutting Height Lever, hold the
Handlebar with your right hand to keep the Mower
steady and adjust the Lever with your left hand.
Each position adjusts the Mower’s Blade level to a different Cutting
Height. Pushing the Cutting Height Lever towards Position 1 cuts
more grass (which leaves your grass shorter); pushing the Lever
towards Position 4 cuts less grass (leaving your grass longer).
The following table lists the final cut grass heights.
Lever Position Cut Height
1 1.2" (3.0 cm)
2 1.5" (3.8 cm)
3 2.0" (5.1 cm)
4 3.0" (7.6 cm)

Controls and Features
⇒Status Indicator Light
The green Status Indicator Light (Figure 23) on the Lower
Crossbar lights up when you install a charged Battery, insert the
Safety Key and when you place the Power/Mode Switch in either
the Mow or Auxiliary position.
NOTE: A green Status Indicator Light does not guarantee that the
Battery is fully charged, only that it has some charge, the
Safety Key has been inserted, the electrical system is ready,
and that the Mower can be started.
If the green Status Indicator Light goes out, do not operate the Mower again until the Battery is fully charged. If you do operate
the Mower with the green Status Indicator Light out, this will result in decreased charging capacity.
NOTE: Although you may notice that a short period of rest may restore the Status Indicator Light, you still must fully charge the
Battery before continuing to mow.
⇒Power/Mode Switch
The Power/Mode Switch (Figure 24) controls the Mower, Power,
and optional Trimmer. This Switch has three (3) settings.
• Mower (rear position), used for normal mowing; and
• Power OFF (center position), used to conserve Battery power
(green Status Indicator Light goes out); and
• Auxiliary (forward position), used when operating the Optional
Trimmer.
⇒Analog Voltage Gauge
The Analog Voltage Gauge (Figure 25) indicates the amount of
Battery life remaining. The yellow area indicates acceptable
voltage whereas the red area indicates low voltage. You should
raise the Cutting Height or mow slower if the gauge momentarily
drops into the red area. Recharge the Battery if the Gauge stays in
the red area.
NOTE: The Analog Voltage Gauge will only show the Battery’s
voltage when you correctly insert the Battery in the machine
and the Power/Mode Switch is in either the Mow, or
Auxiliary position.

Chapter 3: Operating Your NEUTON Mower
NOTE: If the Mower Battery is not fully charged or if you are unpacking a new Mower for the first time, read “Chapter 4: Charging
and Caring for the Battery” before operating the Mower. You should charge the Battery for ten (10) to (12) twelve hours
maximum before use.
Starting the Motor and Engaging the Blade
• Starting, stopping, and restarting an electric Motor repeatedly within a few seconds can generate a great deal of heat and
damage the Motor. To protect the life of your NEUTON Mower, always wait at least five (5) seconds after stopping before
restarting the Mower.
• The cutting Blade always turns when the Motor is running; there is no clutch to allow the Blade to stop rotating while the
Motor is running.
1. Perform the Daily Checks listed on the back cover of this manual.
2. Insert the Safety Key into the Key Slot (Figure 26). You can insert the Safety
Key either way and it should snap into place. The green Status Indicator Light
on the Lower Crossbar should come on when you place the Power/Mode
Switch in either the Mow or Auxiliary position.
Starting the Mower
1. Slide the orange Start Knob to your left (Figure 27).
2. Squeeze and hold the orange Control Bar (Figure 28). The orange Start Knob fits
snugly into the Slot on top of the Handlebar.
3. Continue to hold the Control Bar against the Handlebar for as long as you want the
Motor to run.
If the Mower does not start, first check for simple solutions:
• Make sure the Battery is in, the Safety Key is in, and the Status Indicator Light is green.
• Make sure the Power/Mode Switch is in the Mower position.
• Make sure the white Circuit Breaker Button on the Safety Key is depressed.
• Did you follow the two (2)-step Start sequence: slide the orange Start
Knob to the left, then squeeze and hold the Control Bar?
NOTE: If the Mower still does not start, follow the steps in “Chapter 6:
Troubleshooting Tips”.
The orange Control Bar is a safety device; do not tamper with it.
Stopping the Motor and Blade
Simply releasing the orange Control Bar stops the Motor and Blade.
The Blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after you shut off the Motor.
After mowing is complete, make sure to move the Power/Mode Switch to the center, OFF position. The Status Indicator Light
should turn off. If the Mower is stored with the Power/Mode Switch in either the Mow or Trim position with the Battery in the
Mower, the Status Indicator Light will remain ON and will drain your Battery between uses.

Before charging the Battery, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual and on your Mower. Do not operate
your Mower until you have read and understand all instructions and the Battery is fully charged. Reference “Step 4: Charge
the Battery before your first use.” on page 7 for information on connecting the Battery Charger to the Battery.
The Battery
The NEUTON Mower comes with a sealed, lead acid Battery already installed at the factory. The Battery is 36 volts and rated at
10 amp-hours. The Battery should not leak, regardless of the position in which it is stored. Read “Handling the Battery Safely”
in Chapter 1 for additional information.
The Battery is completely maintenance free. You never need to add water. With all rechargeable Batteries, after years of use,
they will eventually need replacement. With proper care, the Battery can last up to three (3) to five (5) years.
• Never attempt to alter or open the Battery. Use normal household voltage (110 volts) when charging the Battery. Plug the
Charger directly into the electrical outlet.
• Risk of electric shock; do not touch the non-insulated portion of the output connector or the non-insulated Battery terminal.
• Use the NEUTON 36-Volt Charger only with the NEUTON 36-Volt Battery. Use of other Chargers or the NEUTON 36-Volt
Charger with other types of Batteries may result in bursting of the Battery, which could cause personal injury and property
damage.
• Under normal conditions, the Battery charge should last for approximately forty-five (45) to sixty (60) minutes per use with a
fully charged Battery. The length of time depends on the length, density, and dampness of the grass, cutting height setting,
current Battery charge level, and ongoing Battery care/charging. If the Battery does not provide a forty-five (45) minute run
time, it does not mean that your Battery is defective. If you generally intend to use your Mower for a longer duration,
Neuton Power Equipment recommends that you purchase an extra Battery. Whereby, you could have a second fully
charged Battery ready so you can continue mowing.
• The optimal ambient temperature for charging of the Battery is between +32ºF (0ºC) and +104ºF (+40ºC). Make sure the
charging temperatures will never be outside these limits.
• It may take up to five (5) charging and discharging cycles before your Battery provides maximum life.
• A Battery may last much longer if you charge it as soon as it starts to lose power and not let it completely discharge. You
should not try to coax a little more power out of your Battery. Recharge the Battery as soon as possible after each use and
remove it from the Charger. The Battery will fully recharge in ten (10) to twelve (12) hours.
• Avoid leaving the Battery on the Charger for a period of more than a week.
• For superior Battery performance, always store the Battery in a DRY environment with temperatures between +5ºF (-15ºC)
and +104ºF (+40ºC). Make sure the storage temperatures will never be outside these limits. The lower the storage
temperature is within the specified range, the better. The Battery will discharge more slowly at low temperatures. Charge
the Battery for ten (10) to twelve (12) hours maximum prior to storage and then every one (1) to two (2) months; and then
again prior to the first seasons use. Be sure to remove the Charger from the Battery after charging. Also, do not store the
Battery near children or pets or close to a source of heat, sparks, open flame or on the floor as it may be damp or subject to
accidental flooding. In addition, never expose the Battery to abnormal shaking or shocks. Regularly observe the external
appearance of the Battery. Never use a Battery that shows cracks, changes shape, leaks, or is obviously damaged.
Periodically inspect the Cord on the Charger unit for damage. If damage occurs, discontinue use of the Charger immediately
and visit our website at www.neutonpower.com or call Neuton Power Equipment Toll Free at: 1-866-NEUTON1 (638-8661)
for a replacement Charger. Do not abuse the Cord. Never carry the Charger by the Cord. Always pull the Charger – and not
the Cord – when disconnecting the Charger from the electrical outlet (wall outlet). Always pull the Charger Connector – and
not the Cord – when disconnecting the Charger from the Charging Receptacle on the Battery after charging. When using an
extension Cord with your Charger, use a heavy-duty extension Cord of a type “suitable for outdoor use” (although you should
never charge the Battery in the open outdoors).

NEUTON CE6.3 Battery-Powered Mower - Safety & Operating Instructions 17
Chapter 5: Servicing Your NEUTON Mower
This chapter explains how to clean your Mower, and change and sharpen the Blade.
Servicing Your Mower
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the Motor running. Always stop the Motor, wait for the Blade to stop moving,
remove the Safety Key, and remove the Battery to prevent accidental starting.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
• Never attempt to make wheel-height adjustments while the Motor is running.
• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow the
Blade to throw objects. Check components frequently, and replace them with the manufacturers recommended parts
when necessary.
• Check the Blade and Motor mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Use only authorized NEUTON
replacement parts.
• Keep your Mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
• Allow the Mower to cool for at least five (5) minutes before servicing or storing.
• The Mower Blade is sharp, it can and will cut. Wrap the Blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when working on it.
Cleaning the Handlebar
Remember to clean and lubricate the Handlebar on your Mower at least once a year or whenever grime builds up on the
sliding parts of the Handlebar.
Before performing the following cleaning procedures, remove the Safety Key and Battery to prevent accidental starting.
Supplies Needed:
• Clean cloth or paper towel
• WD-40® or similar lubricant
• Use only lubricants that are compatible with electrical components such as WD-40®.
• Never use silicone or graphite based lubricants.
1. Spray a small amount of WD-40® or similar lubricant on a paper towel or clean cloth.
2. Clean both sides all along the top and sides of the orange Control Bar (Figure 22 on page 10).
3. Slide the Start Knob (Figure 27 on page 13) to the left and squeeze the orange Control Bar up into the top of the
Handlebar as if you were starting the Mower (Figure 28 on page 13).
4. Holding the orange Control Bar in this position, clean the inside side walls of the Handlebar where the orange Control Bar
slides up and down.
5. Operate the orange Control Bar several times to insure that it is moving freely and properly returns to the OFF (down)
position.

Removing and Attaching the Blade
• You must remove the Blade to sharpen it.
• Always check the Blade for sharpness, damage, and tightness before and after each use. If the Blade is bent or damaged,
replace the Blade promptly.
• Replace the Blade when worn, damaged, or at least every five (5) years.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• 36mm Wrench (supplied with Mower under the Access Cover)
• 3/4" Wrench (supplied with Mower under the Access Cover)
• Torque Wrench (optional)
• Heavy Gloves
Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands when removing and attaching the Blade.
1. Place the 36mm Wrench over the Steel Hex Adapter (the large metal piece that holds the Blade in position) and place the
3/4" Wrench or Socket over the Blade Nut (Figure 29).
2. While holding the Hex Adapter in place, loosen the Blade Nut by turning counterclockwise. Be careful, hold the Hex
Adapter firmly in place so that the Blade does not spin and strike your hand. The safest way to keep the Blade from
spinning is to block it with a piece of 2" x 4" wood against the Mower frame.
Hold the Wrenches at a slight angle to each other and squeeze together to avoid spinning the Blade. Squeeze the
3/4" Wrench clockwise to tighten the Nut and counterclockwise to loosen the Nut.
3. Remove the Blade Nut, Steel Hex Adapter, Blade, and Steel Blade Adapter in that order (Figure 30).
4. To install a sharpened Blade or a new Blade, reverse the order of step 3. Be sure to replace all parts exactly as you
removed them (Figure 30) and make sure to properly seat the Blade.
NOTE: Be sure that the stamping on the Blade “THIS SIDE TOWARDS MOWER” is facing the Mower. Also, if replacing the Blade with a
new one, use the new Nut supplied. If you assemble the Blade more than ten (10) times, replace the Blade Nut with a new
one.
5. Place the 36mm Wrench over the Steel Hex Adapter, then place the 3/4" Wrench (or optional Torque Wrench with a 3/4"
Socket) over the Blade Nut (Figure 29) and while holding the Hex Adapter in place; tighten the Blade Nut securely (16.6 Ft-
Lbs) by turning clockwise. Again, be careful, hold the Hex Adapter firmly in place so that the Blade does not spin and strike
your hand.
Sharpening the Blade
When the Blade is dull, the cut ends of the grass end up ragged and may turn brown soon after mowing. A dull blade also
causes the Battery to discharge faster. When this occurs, sharpen the Blade (assuming the Blade is otherwise in good
condition).
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• Fine-Toothed File or NEUTON Blade Sharpener (optional)
• Safety Glasses
• Vise
1. Remove the Blade (see “Removing and Attaching the Blade”).
2. Secure the Blade in a sturdy Vise and while wearing Safety Glasses, carefully
file the Cutting Edges of the Blade using even strokes. Be sure to file both
sides and both ends equally.
Simply counting the number of strokes per edge will help to keep the
sharpening equal.
