Stihl HL Hedgecutter
Anyone any idea why on my Stihl hedgecutter, that on 1 of the metal
strips {that are either side of the cutting blades}, one area has a bigger gap between{ie slight curve} it and blade ie not parallel. Taking apart there's no adjustment I can see to make it flat again. Thanks |

You may be able to reshape it manually if you're good. Is it causing problems in operation? If not I would ignore it. Steve |

Thanks; no seems to operate OK;
seems flat enough when taken apart, but when screwed down in place it sort of bows at one point; its as if it needs a few mm taken off. shazzbat wrote: wrote in message oups.com...
