SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the risk of
accidents.
Keep the correct setting on the saw blade! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended setting tool. An
incorrectly set saw blade increases the risk of jamming and
kickback, and damage to the saw blade.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Sharpening grass cutters and grass
blades
• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters
using a single-cut flat file.
• Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the
blade.
Sharpening the saw blade
• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions.
A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working efficiently
and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and clearing saw.
• Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file
it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.
• The filing angle is 15 ° . File alternate teeth to the right and
those in between to the left. If the blade has been heavily
pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress the top
edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional cases. If
so, this should be done before filing with a round file. The
top edges must be filed down by the same amount for all
the teeth.
!
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged
in any other way. Never attempt to straighten
a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only
use original blades of the specified type.
