General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the
guards we recommend! See the section on
Technical data.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharp-
ened! Follow our instructions and use the
recommended file gauge. An incorrectly
sharpened or damaged blade increases the
risk of accidents.

blade increases the risk of jamming and
blade thrust, and damage to the saw blade.

Sharpening grass cutters and
grass blades
S See the cutting attachment packaging for
correct sharpening instructions. Sharpen
blades and cutters using a single- -cut flat file.
S Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the
balance of the blade.
WARNING:
Use of an incorrect
or damaged blade could result in
serious injury or death. Always dis-
card a blade that is bent, twisted,
cracked, broken or damaged in any
other way. Never attempt to straight-
en a twisted blade so that it can be
reused. Only use original blades of
the specified type.
Sharpening the saw blade
S See the cutting attachment packaging for
correct sharpening instructions.
S A correctly sharpened blade is essential for
working efficiently and to avoid unnecessary
wear to the blade and clearing saw.
S Make sure that the blade is well supported
when you file it. Use a 0.2 inch (5.5 mm)
round file with a file holder.
