MAINTENANCE

•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.

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.

Sharpening the saw blade

WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting

!attachment or an incorrectly sharpened blade increases the risk of kickback.

•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.
