with a few strokes of a ﬁle. In order to

keep the blade in balance, all cutting

edges must be sharpened equally.

Blade Sharpening

Shindaiwa Tornado™ Blade

To sharpen the cutters on a Shindaiwa

Tornado Blade, use a 7/32-inch round

ﬁle. File the leading edge of each tooth to

a razor edge. The top plate of each tooth

should angle back 30°.

Multiple-tooth Circular Blade

Use a round ﬁle to maintain a radius of

0.04 to 0.06" (1 to 1.5 mm) at the base of

each tooth. Cutting edges must be offset

equally on each side.
