Sharpening The Line Cutting Knife; Extraordinary Maintenance - GGP ITALY B 28 Manuel D'utilisation

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
SHARPENING THE 3 or 4 POINT BLADE
(Fig. 20)
Use protective gloves. If
sharpening is done without removing the
blade, disconnect the spark plug cap.
Sharpening must be done taking account of the
type of blade and cutting edges, using a flat file and
working all the points equally.
The references for correct sharpening are given in
Fig. 20:
A = Incorrect sharpening
B = Sharpening limits
C = Incorrect and unequal angles
It is important to retain the correct balance after
sharpening.
3 or 4 point blades can be used from both sides.
When one side of the points is worn, the blade can
be turned and the other side used.
The blade must never be
repaired, but must be replaced as soon as
signs of breaking are noted or the sharpening
limit is exceeded.
