• Always make sure that the blade is correctly
ground and balanced. To examine the blade
balance, use a 5/8 in (16 mm) diameter steel
bolt, pin or a cone balancer. Obey the
instructions included with the balancer.
• Do not use a nail to balance the blade. The lobes
of the center hole are not centered.
• Move the blade onto an unthreaded part of the
steel bolt or pin, and hold the bolt or pin parallel
to the ground. If the blade is balanced, it stays in
the horizontal position. If one of the two ends of
the blade moves down, sharpen the heavy end
until the blade is correctly balanced.
Note: The blades must be balanced after
sharpening. Do not sharpen or balance the blade on
your own. Speak to an approved service workshop.
