Sharpening the blades
:
•
To properly sharpen the cutting blades, remove equal amounts of metal from both ends of the blades
along the cutting edges, parallel to the trailing edge, at a 25° to 30° angle.
•
Sharpen the top of the blade only, maintaining the factory cutting edge angle.
IMPORTANT:
If the cutting edge of the blade has already been sharpened to within 1 2/8” from the edge, or if
any metal separation is present, replace the blades with new ones.
IMPORTANT:
It is important that each cutting blade edge be ground equally to maintain proper blade balance.
IMPORTANT:
Replace any blade with severe nicks or dents that cannot be removed by filing.
•
The blade can be tested by using a blade balancer. Grind metal from the heavy side until it balances
evenly.
