Sharpening the Blades
WARNING
When sharpening blade, pieces of blade could be
thrown and cause serious injury.
Wear proper eye protection when sharpening blade.
1. Use a file to sharpen the cutting edge at both ends of
the blade (Figure 101). Maintain the original angle.
The blade retains its balance if the same amount of
material is removed from both cutting edges.

2. Check the balance of the blade by putting it on a
blade balancer (Figure 102). If the blade stays in a
horizontal position, the blade is balanced and can be
used. If the blade is not balanced, file some metal off
the end of the sail area only (Figure 103). Repeat this
procedure until the blade is balanced.
