17 Repairing

► Use a STIHL flat crosscut file to sharpen each cutting

edge on the upper blade. The file only sharpens on the

forward stroke. Maintain the prescribed sharpening angle,

@ 19.2.

► Turn the hedge trimmer over.

► Deburr each cutting edge from below.

► Use a damp cloth to remove the filing dust.

► Spray both sides of blades with STIHL resin solvent.

► Switch on the hedge trimmer for 5 seconds.

The cutting blades run. STIHL resin solvent is distributed

evenly.

► If you have any queries: Contact your STIHL servicing

dealer for assistance.
