ACCESSORY BLADE SHARPENING
1.
Blades can be sharpened using a file designed for use on metal
materials. This method will not duplicate original blade sharpening
process, but can significantly increase overall productivity rates versus
use of a dull blade.
a)
Remove blade from RIP-R-STRIPPER per INSTALLING &
REMOVING ACCESSORY BLADES in MACHINE SET-UP
section of this manual.
b)
Properly secure blade in suitable vice.
c)
Use file to sharpen blade edge using similar method to
sharpening rotary lawnmower blade. FIGURE 26

ELECTRIC MOTOR SERVICE
The motor is designed for long service life with minimal maintenance and is
equipped with higher capacity ball bearings/seals intended for dust-filled
atmospheres that should not require lubrication for many years.
The motor features auto-stop carbon brushes. When brushes wear to a
predetermined level, the motor will automatically shut off to prevent damage to
the armature. Replacement brushes can only be installed by an authorized
Metabo Service Center using Metabo replacement parts.
