Blade sharpening
For optimum performance, blades need to be kept sharp. Minimum safe blade size
after sharpening is shown in . Figure 15. After sharpening, the blade gap must be
re-set by using a blade shim as shown in Figure 16.
Shims are available in thicknesses of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 & 2.5mm as part numbers 14-03-
042-05, -10, -15, -20 and -25. On no occasion must more than one shim be fitted
under each blade at any time. A gap of 3mm must be set from the inner blade tip to
anvil after sharpening by placing an appropriate shim under the blade (also see
flywheel assembly). The outer blade tip is automatically set due to the anvil being
set at an angle to the blade. With 3mm at the inner blade tip, the outer blade tip
should be 5mm from the anvil as shown below.
. The complete blade fastener set must be replaced every time blades are changed.
Do NOT lubricate the Bolts when fitting.
