To avoid out-of-balance: • Resharpen the cutters (2) uniformly - do not alter the contour of the parent blade (3) in any way. • After resharpening about 5 times, have blade checked on STIHL balancer 5910 850 2600 and rebalanced as necessary. Measurements and angles for resharpening Leave clearance of 2mm/5/64" (B) between cutting edge and parent blade - R1 should be 2mm/5/64". Radius R2 is 2.5mmf7164" and is obtained automatically if you use the specified file and maintain a filing angle of 30° (C). Cutting edge (0) must be exactly in line with center of blade's mounting hole.
