Sharpening Metal Blades
Several styles of metal blades are
approved for use on the Brush Cut-
ter. The 8-tooth blade can be sharp-
ened during normal maintenance.
The clearing blade and 80 tooth
blade require professional service.
Before sharpening, CLOSELY
inspect blade for cracks (look at the
bottom of each tooth and the center
mounting hole closely), missing
teeth and bending. If ANY of these
problems are discovered, replace
the blade.
When sharpening a blade, always
remove the same amount of materials from each tooth to maintain balance.
A blade that is not balanced will cause unsafe handling due to vibration and
can result in blade failure.
1. File each tooth at a 30 degree
angle a specific number of
times, e.g., 4 strokes per tooth.
Work your way around the
blade until all teeth are sharp.
