The blades must be resharpened if
cutting performance and behavior begin
to deteriorate (i.e. if blades frequently
snag on branches).
It is best to have the cutting blades
resharpened by your STIHL dealer on a
workshop sharpener.
Do not operate your unit with dull or
damaged blades – this may cause
overload and will give unsatisfactory
cutting results.
