Blade Sharpening
WARNING!
Wear protective gloves when
handling or performing maintenance
on the blade.
When the cutting edges of the blade
become dull, they can be resharpened with
a few strokes of a file.
In order to keep the blade in balance, all
cutting edges must be sharpened equally.
WARNING!
Sharpen only the cutting teeth
of a blade. DO NOT alter the contour
of the blade in any way.
