bedknife and reel wear will accelerate. Uneven
wear can result, adversely affecting quality of
cut.
Note: As the reel blades run against the bedknife, a
slight burr will appear on the front cutting edge
surface over the full length of the bedknife.
Occasionally running a file across the front edge to
remove this burr will improve cutting.
After extended running, a ridge will eventually develop
at both ends of the bedknife. These must be rounded off
or filed flush with the cutting edge of bedknife to assure
smooth operation.
