Cutting Blades

Bent or cracked blades or blades with large nicks should be replaced.

Blades damaged from hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown should be replaced. The service workshop should decide whether the blade can be repaired/ground or must be replaced. Balance the blades after sharpening.

Check the blade mounts.

WARNING!

Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth when handling.
