c) Check bag frequently for deterioration

d) Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked.

e) Sharpen a dull blade equally at each
end to maintain the balance.
f) Clean the blade thoroughly and check
its balance by supporting it horizontally
on a thin nail through its centre hole.
The nail should also be in a horizontal
position. If either end of the blade rotates
downward, remove some metal from
the heavy or lower end until the blade
is balanced. It is balanced when neither
end drops.
