6. Check the Condition of the Blades
- Inspect the blades daily.
- Check that the blades swing freely.
Note: Do not sharpen the blades.

of 50 hours regardless of the wear
because of the possibility of metal
fatigue and non-visible cracks in the
blades. Replace with Highline blades.

leading edge is worn to the upward
bend line (1). Replace with Highline
blades.
- The bend line is 2" (51mm)
from the leading edge of a 4"
(102mm) blade.
! Replace the blade pair if a blade is
gouged, has visible cracks or is bent.
Replace with Highline blades.
