WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting

attachment or an incorrectly sharpened
blade increases the risk of kickback.
• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions.
• A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working
efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and
clearing saw.
• Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file
it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.
• The filing angle is 15°. File alternate teeth to the right and
those in between to the left. If the blade has been heavily
pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress the top
edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional cases. If
so, this should be done before filing with a round file. The
top edges must be filed down by the same amount for all
the teeth.
MAINTENANCE
• Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.
