MAINTENANCE
CUTTER KNIFE SHARPENING
See Figure 48.
The knives can be honed individually with an ordinary oilstone.
NOTE: Make sure your oilstone is not worn in the center. It
must be flat.
Be sure to remove the burr on the flat side.
WARNING:
The cutter knives are extremely sharp. Do not
let your hand or fingers touch the cutter knives.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
If the knives are nicked they must be replaced or reground.
They can be reground several times until they become
9/16 in. wide. Never install unbalanced knives or reground
knives less than 9/16 in. wide.
Have your knives reground by someone who is competent.
Look under "Sharpening Services" in the Yellow Pages of
your telephone directory.
NOTE: The knives may have a second, very small ground
surface very close to the sharpened edge of the knife. Hone
only the edge of the knife which will be doing the cutting.
