branches).

in a vise.
2. File the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth with
a smooth round file. Be sure to retain the original angle of
the tooth when filing.
3. Remove the blade from the vise, and power on the motor
until the unsharpened edges of the remaining blade teeth
are exposed.
4. Remove the battery and repeat the sharpening procedure
as necessary.
