N Use a sharpening file (see "Special
Accessories") to sharpen dull
cutting 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.
N Resharpen frequently, take away as
little material as possible: two or
three strokes of the file are usually
enough.
N Resharpen the cutters (1) uniformly
– do not alter the contour or the
parent blade (2) in any way.
See cutting attachment packaging for
additional sharpening instructions.
Balancing
N After resharpening about 5 times,
check the cutting tool for out-of-
balance on a STIHL balancer
(special accessory) or have it
checked by a dealer and re-
balanced as necessary – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.
Maintenance Work
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
