Sharpening Metal Cutting
Blades
N
Use a sharpening file (see "Special
Accessories") to sharpen dull
cutting attachments. In case of
more serious wear or nicks:
Resharpen with a grinder or have
the work done by a dealer – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.
N Resharpen frequently, take away as
little material as possible: two or
three strokes of the file are usually
enough.

See cutting attachment packaging for
additional sharpening instructions.
Balancing
N After resharpening about 5 times,
check the cutting attachment for
out-of-balance on a STIHL balancer
– see "Special Accessories" – or
have it checked by a dealer and re-
balanced as necessary – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.
