CUTTING-MEANS REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
• Cutting-means balance is critical to proper machine performance.
Replace any cutting-means that is damaged or out of balance.
• Use only genuine Honda replacement cutting-means.
CUTTING-MEANS SHARPENING
CAUTION:
• To avoid weakening the cutting-means, causing it to become
unbalanced or getting a bad quality of cut, the cutting-means
should be sharpened by competent personnel at your servicing
dealer.
1. Sharpen the cutting-means cutting edges with a file. File the top
side only. Maintain the original bevel for a fine cutting edge. File
both ends evenly to maintain cutting-means balance.
2. After sharpening, test the cutting-means balance using a
screwdriver as shown above. If either side dips slightly below the
horizontal, file that side. Replace the cutting-means if it dips
excessively.
