With the file or a grinder, file a blade
as follows.
WARNING!
Sharpen only the cutting teeth
of a blade. DO NOT alter the
contour of the blade in any way. In
order to keep the blade in balance, all

equally. DO NOT file the tips of the
teeth too sharp.

WARNING!
Before performing any
maintenance, repair, or
cleaning work on the machine, make
sure the engine and cutting attachment
are completely stopped. Disconnect
the spark plug wire before performing
service or maintenance work.
WARNING!
Never repair a damaged
blade
by
straightening, or by modifying its
shape. An altered blade may break
during operation, resulting in serious
personal injury.
12-1 Daily Maintenance
Prior to each work day, perform the
following:
■ Remove the dirt and debris
from the engine, check the
cooling fins and air cleaner
for clogging, and clean them
as necessary.
■ Carefully remove any
accumulations of dirt or
debris from the muffler and
fuel tank. Dirt buildup in
these areas can lead to
engine overheating, fire, or
premature wear.
■ Check for loose or missing
screws or components. Make
sure the cutting attachment
is securely fastened.
■ Check the machine for
leaking fuel or grease.
