balanced cutting blades. Do not sharpen the underside of
the blades. Use a electric blade sharpener, a conventional
electric grinder or a hand file to sharpen the blades.
 Replace any blade with severe nicks or dents that cannot
be removed by filing.
4. Check the balance of the blade after sharpening by placing
it on a blade balancer. Do not use unbalanced blades.
5. If the blade dips on one end, file stock off of the cutting
surface on that end.
