Sharpening the safety hood blade
The safety hood blade can become blunt over time. When you
notice this, undo the screw holding the safety hood blade on the
safety hood.
Clamp the blade in a vice.
Sharpen the blade with a flat file and make sure that the angle of
the cutting edge is not altered in the process. File in one direction
only.
