Grinding the safety hood blade
The safety hood blade can become blunt over time. When you
notice this, undo the screw holding the safety hood blade on the
safety hood.
Clamp the blade in a vice.
Sharpen the blade with a flat file and make sure that the angle of
the cutting edge is not altered in the process. File in one direction
only.
The safety hood blade will become blunt over time we therefore
recommend replacing the blade with a new one or re-sharpen it at
the end of every season.
To re-sharpen the blade, clamp the safety hood blade securely in
a vice or clamp and undo the screw which holds the blade. A flat
file should be used when re-sharpening the blade with a flat file
ensuring not to alter the angle and file in one direction only.
An unbalanced blade will cause the brush cutter to vibrate
violently and may result in injury to the operator.
Storing the unit
After cutting, clean the unit thoroughly. Store the unit in a dry
room, allowing the motor to cool down beforehand.
