Cutting Unit Pitch
We recommend a blade pitch of 1/4 inch (6 mm). A
pitch larger than 1/4 inch (6 mm) will result in less
power required, larger clippings, and a poorer quality
of cut. A pitch less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) will result
in more power required, smaller clippings and a better
quality of cut.
