Keep the correct setting on the saw blade! Follow our 
instructions and use the recommended setting tool. An 
incorrectly set saw blade increases the risk of jamming 
and blade thrust, and damage to the saw blade.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A 
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Sharpening grass cutters and grass 
blades
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct 
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters 
using a single-cut flat file.
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of 
the blade.
Sharpening the saw blade
See the cutting attachment packaging for correct 
sharpening instructions.
A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working 
efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and 
clearing saw.
Make sure that the blade is well supported when you 
file it. Use a 5.5 mm round file with a file holder.
The filing angle is 15
°. File alternate teeth to the right 
and those in between to the left. If the blade has been 
heavily pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress 
the top edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional 
cases. If so, this should be done before filing with a 
round file. The top edges must be filed down by the 
same amount for all the teeth.
Adjust the blade setting. This should be 1 mm.
!
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is 
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or 
damaged in any other way. Never attempt 
to straighten a twisted blade so that it 
can be reused. Only use original blades 
of the specified type.
