Sharpening the 3 point blade
WARNING! Use protective gloves. If sharpening
is done without removing the blade, disconnect the
spark plug cap.
Sharpening must be done taking account of the type of
blade and cutting edges, using a flat file and working all
the points equally.
The references for correct sharpening are given in Fig. 19:
A = Incorrect sharpening
B = Sharpening limits
C = Incorrect and unequal angles
It is important to retain the correct balance after sharp-
ening.
3 point blades can be used from both sides. When one
side of the points is worn, the blade can be turned and
the other side used.
WARNING! The blade must never be repaired,
but must be replaced as soon as signs of breaking
are noted or the sharpening limit is exceeded.
