sharpening file. Hold the sharpening file
at the prescribed angle (see
"Specifications").

Only sharpen the cutting edge – do
not file blunt projecting parts of the
cutting blade or the cutting blade
guard (see "Main Parts and

Use a whetstone to remove burr
from cutting edge.

Remove as little material as
possible.
N
After sharpening, clean away filing
