7.2 Sharpening the blade, hard-metal blade
The hard-metal blade can be sharpened "lightly" using a diamond file.
Depending on the cleanliness of the wood, as many as 500-1000 bulk cubic metres of
wood can be processed with a hard-metal saw-blade without resharpening.
The best sharpening result and durability of the blade is achieved when the saw-blade
is sharpened using an appropriate grinding machine with a diamond disc.
7.3 Setting the saw-blade, hard-metal blade
The hard-metal blade does not normally show any tendency for tension fault, but espe-
cially when a blunt saw-blade is used for cutting and it gets very hot, tension faults can
occur.
Leave the prestressing of the hard-metal blade to a professional.
