16.1 Sharpening the Cutting Blades
Shrub shear blades
STIHL recommends you have the cutting blades
resharpened by a STIHL servicing dealer.
WARNING
The teeth of the cutting blades are very sharp. There is a risk
of cut injuries.
► Wear work gloves made of durable material.
► Move the cutting blades so that the cutting edges are
easily accessible.
► Use a STIHL flat crosscut file to sharpen each cutting
edge on the upper blade. The file only sharpens on the
forward stroke. Maintain the prescribed sharpening angle,
@ 19.2.
► Turn shrub shear blades over.
► Sharpen the remaining cutting edges.
► Use a damp cloth to remove the filing dust.
► Spray both sides of shrub shear blades with STIHL resin
solvent.
