6.2 Sharpening
Correct sharpening of the blade is essential to ensure:

battery life
•
durability of the mechanical parts and the motor
•
durability of the blades
During the first day of use
the burr that is created on the cutting edge of the blade must be removed often. The type and
diameter of the wood being cut determines how often this must be done.
Hard wood with a large diameter:
after 15 minutes
, then every hour.
Soft wood with a small diameter:
after 30 minutes
, then every 2 hours.
(It is good practice to avoid cutting branches that are dry or with a large diameter during the first half hour of work)
After the first day of use
, you will determine how often sharpening is required based on the condition of the blade.
Light but frequent sharpening is recommended.
6.2.1 Replacing the blade
If the cutting blade (1) is worn or if the shear does not guarantee a clean cut after its sharpening, it is advisable to replace
the blade group by following the steps mentioned below.
