Sharpening Metal Blades
Three styles of metal blades are approved for use on the ECHO 
Brush Cutter. The 8-tooth blade can be sharpened 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.
