Operation bedknife and reel wear will accelerate. Uneven wear can result, adversely affecting quality of cut. As the reel blades run against the bedknife, a Note: 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.
