6280 BLADES
BLADE SHARPENING
• Always wear gloves and safety glasses.
• Using hand grinder, block up front of machine so blade is off the floor.
• Grind blade using a 4" diameter disk with 120 or finer grit. Be careful not to catch disk on edge or corner
of blade. Blade bevel up. See Figure A. Blade bevel down (See Figure B).
• Pass grinder back and forth along blade edge being careful to hold grinder at proper angle of blade.
Grind until sharp.
• Using a good quality fine tooth hand file, use same procedure as above (See Figure C).
• Blades are sharp. Use extreme caution.
• Have plenty of sharp blades on each job so on-the-job blade sharpening is eliminated.
• It is best to resharpen dull blades on proper bench or belt grinder in the shop, so the blades are ready
for the next job.
