Sharpening Metal Blades
Several styles of metal blades are
approved for use on the Brushcutter.
The 8-tooth blade can be sharpened
during normal maintenance. The
clearing blade and 80-tooth blade
require professional service.
Before sharpening, CLOSELY
inspect blade for cracks (look at the
bottom of each tooth and the center
mounting hole closely), missing
teeth and bending. If ANY of these
problems are discovered, replace
the blade.
When sharpening a blade, always
remove the same amount of
materials from each tooth to maintain balance. A blade that is not balanced
will cause unsafe handling due to vibration and can result in blade failure.
