How do these 8TEN blades improve cutting performance?

The LawnRAZOR toothed edge is intended to improve lift and airflow beneath the deck, promoting even grass lift and a more uniform cut. Replacing worn blades with sharp, correctly sized LawnRAZOR blades reduces tearing and produces a neater finish across your lawn.

• Toothed profile increases airflow for improved lift

• Consistent blade dimensions maintain deck balance and vibration control
• Pack of three lets you replace all blades on a 48" deck at once

• Blade width: 3 inches
• Center hole diameter: 3/4 inch (0.75")
• Thickness: 0.1875 inch (3/16")

How should I install and care for the replacement blades?

Install blades on a cool engine with the spark plug disconnected, matching original blade orientation and torque specs from your owner’s manual. Routine inspection and occasional sharpening will extend blade life and keep cuts clean.

• Disconnect spark plug before starting work
• Match cutting direction and balance blades after installation
• Check bolts and torque to mower manufacturer specs
• Sharpen or replace when nicks or heavy wear appear
