22 Sharpening Metal Cutting
Blades
► Use a sharpening file (special accessory) to
sharpen cutting attachments that are only
slightly worn. For heavy wear and nicks, use a
grinding machine or take them to a servicing
dealer. STIHL recommends the STIHL servic‐
ing dealer
► Sharpen frequently, removing little material –
two or three strokes of the file are usually suffi‐
cient for simple resharpening

change the profile of the parent wheel (2)
More sharpening instructions can be found on
the packaging of the cutting attachment. So keep
the packaging in a safe place!
22.1 Balancing
► After sharpening about 5 times, check cutting
attachments with the STIHL balancer (special
accessory) to see if they are out of balance
and rebalance them or take them to a servic‐
ing dealer – STIHL recommends the STIHL
