Goes without saying the old adage is true ..Look after the machine and it'll look after you .
After years of skinned knuckles, the penny dropped and got one of these.......



I take the whole blade carrier off, replace the blade sets and then re-attach.

I replace blades with whatever the mower shop has in stock when they become worn, no sharpening between replacements.
