Can the blade on this trimmer be sharpened?

Our trimmer is new, so it has not needed sharpening yet, however, there are many articles to tell you how to do it yourself, such as on www.gardenguides.com/67541-sharpen-black-decker-electric-hedge... They say it is cheaper, however , I would have someone else do it , due to my limited skills. :-)

I would take it to a professional blade sharpener and also purchase a replacement blade.

I haven't read the manual cover to cover, but I believe the answer is "Yes." I wouldn't do it myself, and I don't know the cost, but I'm sure you can find out online.

Right off the top, I would say no. But I have never tried it. I use mine to sharpen all my planner blades and it does a very good job. I keep my blades razor sharp. I have a small belt type sharpener that I use for my hedge blades.

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......

Sorry, just got mine so only just used it a couple time. I had a another hedge trimmer for many years and never had it sharpened and it worked just fine. Not really sure how it could be sharpened. I do oil the blades with each use. That seems to keep them in good shape.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file. HTH, Robert

Yes, you can! As long as the blade is straight and not serrated. I've gone through my knives (including pocket knives) and sharpened everything.

Yes and no if the blade is very dull it won't sharpen, if the blade is sharp it will maintain the blade. I use a hand file to first shape the edge then I use the sharpener.

I would think so. I have this KA-BAR Potbelly, and it will sharpen that. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/39

You could probably sharpen it yourself, but I would take it to a professional to make sure the blade stays straight. There is probably one close to where you live or work.

yes, the blade can be replaced but, you wouldn't need to because it can be sharpened. this product also comes with the sharpening stone. it's best to give the blade a few strokes with the stone every 100th cut or so to get a clean cut.

Yes you can, but this rod is ultra fine so if the edge is dull it will take a very long time. It is manly used as a final touch when you are using the spiderco sharpmaker sistem, wich has two sets of tougher stones and it takes a bit off time to make a dull edge sharp with them. So if your edge is already shaving sharp this rod is what you need to make it even sharper.

Either right-hand or left hand scissors can be sharpened. I have no idea on garden tools, but doubt it due to the size of the slots for sharpening.

Yes it can be sharpened. I just make a few swipes on my fine steel between uses and its razor sharp. The blade is very thin so its great for fine thin slicing which is what I use it for.

The blades can't be sharpened, but some sharpeners can replace the cutter for much cheaper than the replacement cost of the whole blade. I send mine to Northern Tails Sharpening, he charges $10 to refurbish 5-in-1 blades.

Yes, the blade is replaceable. I'm not sure the blade can be sharpened. If the blade is oiled regularly it shouldn't need sharpening.
