Check the balance of the blade by putting it on
a blade balancer (Figure 39)• If the blade stays
in a horizontal position, the blade is balanced
and can be used. If the blade is not balanced,
file some metal off the end of the sail area only
(Figure 38). Repeat this procedure until the
blade is balanced.
