I have *stupidly* removed the blade from a Mountfield Empress lawnmower
without noting the orientation... Now I dont know which way round to
replace it! Should the edge bevel be facing downwards so that if you
look at the blade on the mower you can see it or should the edge bevel
be facing up so that when you look at it you just see the back of the
blade...

Thanks in advance and yes I know that I should know better!

If you lift the mower somewhat and then tug on the starter cord you want the
sharp edge leading - i.e. travelling in the direction the engine turns as
you pull the cord.
