33. WORK REST. The work rests are independently
adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Before
grinding, make certain the work rests are adjusted
properly. Generally, the object being ground is done
slightly above the center of the grinding wheel.
34. Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only
one edge and dressed up slightly on the other.
Perform this sharpening process on both cutting
ends of the blade. After sharpening, balance the
blade by removing additional material.
