Sharpening blades
Blade sharpening is extremely important in order to get the best cutting results. Sharp
blades permit a high quality cut and also reduce HP thus lowering cost.
To sharpen blades, first remove them following the above instructions.
Place the blade in a vise and sharpen them by using a hand file or grinder. Do not
sharpen the blades to a sharp cutting edge. The cutting edge should be between

blade equally for balance and always maintain corners. Always keep all three blades
sharpened equally in order to maintain balance.
