bent or cracked blade – it may break – it
must be replaced – see "Mounting the
Cutting Blade".
STIHL recommends you use only
original STIHL cutting blades.
Do not resharpen the blade.
N Replace the blade (1) if its
length (A) is no longer sufficient to
maintain the necessary ground

Checking Out-of-Balance
To avoid out-of-balance:
N Have your dealer check the blade
for out-of-balance on a STIHL
balancer (special accessory) –
STIHL recommends an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer. If blade is
out-of-balance, fit a new one – see
"Mounting the Cutting Blade".
