The upper blade of the Model M1117 has two cutting
edges so that if one cutting edge becomes dull, you can
reverse the blade and use the fresh, sharp cutting edge.
If both the upper blade cutting edges are dull, or the
cutting edge of the lower blade is dull, sharpen the
blade(s) on a surface grinder and make sure the blade is
flat along the entire length. Re-sharpen each blade edge
as needed until it is too thin to safely install (as described
in the following steps), then replace the blade. We
recommend you keep an extra set of blades on hand to
avoid any downtime.
