Sharpening Metal Blades
Three styles of metal blades are approved for use on the ECHO
Brush Cutter. The 8-tooth blade can be sharpened during
normal maintenance. The clearing blade and 80 tooth blade
require professional service.
Before sharpening, CLOSELY inspect blade for cracks (look at
the bottom of each tooth and the center mounting hole closely),
missing teeth and bending. If ANY of these problems are
discovered, replace the blade.
When sharpening a blade, always remove the same amount of
materials from each tooth to maintain balance. A blade that is not balanced will cause unsafe handling due
to vibration and can result in blade failure.
