bent or deformed parts of blades.
Must be properly attached by the flange in the
middle of blades.

damaged.
For proper and reliable functioning the blades are
statically balanced by the manufacturer. This
balance must be preserved during the entire use of

Ream them or otherwise change their
construction.
When replacing worn-out parts follow these
rules:
The blade may only be sharpened within the
permitted wear limit. Balancing must be carried
