Maintaining the Blades
The cutting blades are made of high-quality,
hardened steel. During normal use, they will not
require resharpening unless they become
nicked by contact with hard objects, such as
wire fencing, glass, stones or bricks.
If a nick occurs and it interferes with operation:
1. Stop the unit. Wait for all moving parts to
stop. Allow the unit to cool. Disconnect the
spark plug wire to prevent the unit from
starting accidentally.
2. Use a ne-toothed le or sharpening stone
to remove the nick.
WARNING: Always wear heavy
gloves when handling or cleaning
the blades.
