1. File each tooth at a 30 degree angle a specific number of 
times, eg. 4 strokes per tooth. Work your way around the 
blade until all teeth are sharp.
2. DO NOT file the ‘gullet’ (radius) of the tooth with the flat file. 
The radius must remain. A sharp corner will lead to a crack 
and blade failure.
If an electric grinder is used, use care not to overheat teeth, do 
not allow tips/tooth to glow red or turn blue. DO NOT place 
blade in cooling water. This will change the temper of the blade and could result in blade failure.
3. After sharpening teeth, check each tooth radius for evidence 
of a square (sharp) corner. Use the round (rat tail) file to 
renew the radius.
