User Manual

NOTE: Use caution when removing the blade to avoid

contacting the weid boits on the housing.

• When sharpening the blade, follow the original

angle of grind 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 21.
