Although there is already an existing thread for this lawn mower, I wanted to make sure everyone who owns it sees this post to prevent damage to the mower when removing/replacing the blades.
Specifically, the maintenance instructions starting on page 25 of the English Owner's Manual state that the two blades labeled Blade 1 and Blade II are removed by turning the mounting nut clockwise (left-handed thread) for Blade I and counterclockwise (right-handed thread) for Blade II. In fact, the complete opposite is the case with the mounting nut for Blade I loosening counterclockwise and Blade II clockwise. I've visited the Greenworks website and viewed the online Owner's Manual, and it still contains the same errors.
The interesting thing is that the markings on the original blades for loosening and tightening the mounting nuts agree with the Owner's Manual, however, the markings on the replacement blades are reversed and agree with the actual configuration. The replacement blades were purchased at my local Lowe's under the Kobalt brand name, however, the part numbers stamped on the blades are identical (33307486 for Blade I and 33308486 for Blade II). Since I did not purchase the Greenworks branded blades, I can't say whether the markings have been corrected on them. Based on the directions that the blades are turning, it makes sense that the nuts would tighten as they do and not as stated in the manual to prevent them from loosening during operation.
