Blade Maintenance

Servicing the Cutting Blade

To ensure a superior quality of cut, keep the blade(s)
sharp. For convenient sharpening and replacement, you
may want to have an extra blade(s).

A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece
of the blade could be thrown into the operator's
or bystander's area, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
• Inspect the blade periodically for wear or
damage.
• Replace a worn or damaged blade.

Inspecting the Blade(s)

are not sharp or have nicks, remove the blade(s) and
sharpen them; refer to Sharpening the Blade(s).
