Wear protective gloves
The knives are very sharp. Always wear protective gloves when hand-
ling the knives. Failing to wear protective gloves may result in serious
cutting injuries.
Wear protective goggles
Always wear protective goggles when sharpening knives. Flying de-
bris can cause serious injuries.
Sharpening the
knives
Remove the knives when sharpening. Grind the knives on the flat rub-
ber side after every 500 bales or daily. Do not grind the serrated cut-
ting edges. Check that the knives are still sharp enough every day.
To do this, the following work steps are required:
→
»Removing the knives«, page 50.
> Clamp the knife in a vice.
> Grind the smooth side of the knife using a grinding unit.
→
»Fitting the knives«, page 51.
