14.5 Sharpening the mowing blade

STIHL recommends having the mowing
blade sharpened by a technician.
Operation of the machine is impaired in the
case of an incorrectly sharpened blade
(incorrect sharpening angle, imbalance,
etc.).
Sharpening instructions:
● Remove the mowing blade. (
● Cool the mowing blade when
sharpening, e.g. with water. The blade
must not be allowed to display blue
colouring, as this would reduce its
cutting quality.
● Sharpen the blade evenly to prevent
vibrations due to imbalance.
● Observe the sharpening angle of 30°.
● After sharpening, remove any
sharpening burr at the cutting edge
using fine sandpaper if necessary.
● Observe the wear limits. (
