blade could hit.

object.

If the mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately stop the
engine, disconnect the wire from the spark plug, and examine the mower for
damage.

For best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins.

Replace the blade when necessary with a DR Power Equipment replacement
blade.
