N Use a sharpening file (special
accessory) to sharpen dull cutting
attachments. In case of more
serious wear or nicks: Resharpen
with a grinder or have the work done
by a dealer – STIHL recommends a
STIHL servicing dealer.
N Resharpen frequently, take away as
little material as possible: two or
three strokes of the file are usually
enough.
N Resharpen the cutters (1) uniformly
– do not alter the contour of the
parent blade (2) in any way.
See cutting attachment packaging for
additional sharpening instructions.
Balancing
N After resharpening about 5 times,
check the cutting attachment for
out-of-balance on a STIHL balancer
(special accessory) or have it
checked by a dealer and re-
balanced as necessary – STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing
dealer.

out of the clamp.
N Soak a cloth in a clean, non-
flammable cleaning solution – do

oil or grease.
N Thoroughly clean the clamp area of
the handlebar with the cloth and
cleaning solution.
N Line up the handlebar and secure it
in position with the wing screw.
