The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel and
with normal usage, they will not require re-sharpening. However, if
you accidentally hit a wire fence, stones, glass or other hard objects,
you may put a nick in the blade. There is no need to remove this
nick as long as it doesn't interfere with the movement of the blade.
If it does interfere, make sure the battery is detached from the unit
and use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals Do not store the tool
on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
