Sharpening Metal Cutting
Blades
Use a sharpening file (special
N

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.
Sharpen frequently, take away as
N
little metal as possible – two or three
strokes of the file are usually
enough.
