NOTE: Use caution when removing the blade to avoid contacting the weld bolts on the housing.

•When sharpening the blade, follow the original angle of gdnd as a guide. It is extremely important that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of

grinding to prevent an unbalanced blade. An unbal- anced blade will cause excessive vibration when

rotating at high speeds and may cause damage to the unit.

•The blade can be tested for balance by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver or nail. Remove metal from the heavy side until it is balanced evenly. See figure 20.
