This may result in overheating and damage to
important components.

Sharpening and Balancing a
Metal Cutting Attachment
6
WARNING
■ Never use a dull or damaged metal cutting
attachment. Working with a dull blade leads to
increased physical strain, increased vibration
load, unsatisfactory cutting results and
increased wear, which can result in loss of
control and injury to the operator or bystand‐
ers. A damaged cutting attachment may
vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer /
brushcutter, which may result in serious or
fatal injury or property damage. Make sure the
cutting attachment is sharp and in good condi‐
tion before starting work.
