Cutting Attachment Maintenance

WARNING: It is absolutely essential to comply with
the angles and dimensions specified below. If the
blade is incorrectly sharpened there is a risk of
increased kickout of the brush cutter and increase
risk of thrown object, with resulting risk of injury.
Failure to replace or repair damaged cutting
52
attachment can cause serious injury.
The blades are very sharp, always wear protective
gloves when performing maintenance to the blades.
General rules
• Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend!
See Recommended cutting attachments (Page 10).
• Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the risk of
53
accidents. (Fig. 52)
• Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced. (Fig.

Ø 2.4 mm
• Resharpen frequently, take away as little material as possible –
0.095 in.
two or three strokes of the file are usually enough.
To avoid out-of-balance:
• Resharpen the cutters uniformly – do not alter the contour of
the parent blade in any way.
• After resharpening about 5 times, have blade checked by your
54
dealer.
WARNING: Never repair damaged cutting attachments
by welding, straightening or modifying the shape. This
may cause parts of the cutting tool to come off and
result in serious or fatal injuries.
Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades
• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening
instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters using a single-cut flat
file.

• Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the blade.
(Fig. 52)
WARNING: Always discard a blade that is bent,
twisted, cracked, broken or damaged in any other
way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade so
that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the
specified type.
