Sharpening of the blades
The blades generally do not need servicing and do not require resharpening if used

sharpened cutting blade should be covered by the blunt cover (Fig. 4). The blades
cannot be sharpened by the user without opening the equipment and the safety
mechanism. Resharpening of the blades can therefore only be carried out at a specialist
workshop.

Only correct installation of the blades will guaratee problem-free operation and function
of the above mentioned safety feature of the blades. Changing of the blades should
therefore also only be carried out at a specialist workshop.
