Grinding and Balancing Blades

WARNING!
Use glove to protect hands when
working on the blades.
1 Remove the blades as described in the previous
section.
2 Fasten the blades in a vice and sharpen with a
file.
3 Balance the blades as follows:
• Put e.g. a drift horizontally in a vice as illustrated.
• Insert the end of the drift into the center hole
of the blade and check that the blade is in
equilibrium. The illustration shows a blade that
requires adjustment, it must be grinded more to
attain the right balance (at the arrow).
• Assembly is done in reverse order to removal.
WARNING!
If the blade is cracked from
incorrect repair or other damage,
it can break when being used.
The risk of blade fracture
increases if it is not balanced
correctly.
