Sharpening the blades:
Blades which are blunt on both sides must
be sharpened before resuming work.
In order to ensure optimum machine
operation, the blades should only be
sharpened by a technician. STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.
The locking device must always be
tilted back and secured with the
bolt after installation of the blade
disc and before operating the
machine again (see illustration).

limits are reached. STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist
dealers.

The specified tightening torque
must always be observed, as the
secure attachment of the cutting
tool depends upon it.
Blunt shredding blades result in
deteriorating shredder
performance. A blunt reversible
blades can therefore be reversed
once.
