WARNING

1. Clean the blade.
2. Sharpen a dull blade equally at each end to main-
shavings to achieve a sharp blade.
3. Check the blade's balance by supporting it on a
nail through its centre hole. Hold the nail horizon-
tally. If either end of the blade rotates downward,
remove some metal from the heavy or lower end.
Repeat until the blade is balanced evenly on the
nail. It is balanced when neither end drops.
