22.5 Sharpening and Balancing a Metal Cutting

Attachment

WARNING
Never use a dull or damaged metal cutting attachment.
Working with a dull blade leads to increased physical strain,
increased vibration load, unsatisfactory cutting results and
increased wear, which can result in loss of control and injury
to the operator or bystanders. A damaged cutting
attachment may vibrate, crack, break or come off the
trimmer / brushcutter, which may result in serious or fatal
injury or property damage. Make sure the cutting attachment
is sharp and in good condition before starting work.
WARNING
An improperly sharpened metal cutting attachment can
increase the risk of kickout (blade thrust) and other reactive
forces, resulting in severe personal injury or death. STIHL
recommends having your metal cutting attachment
sharpened and balanced by an authorized STIHL servicing
dealer to reduce the risk of severe or fatal injury.
