Then you are supposed to see that there is a bevel after each two-blade points facing you. In this stage, you have to notice the angels of the circular saw sharpening. After that, you just need to get the file and holding it around about 20 degrees angle regarding the level.

After that, you just need to make the repetition of this process to the other side of the blades. Never leave a single part that you have made before. Here, you can make a mark so that you can keep track of the starting point.
Filing The Tips:
In this step, you have to file the tips of each tooth. Simply run the file back and forth to avoid wearing it down. Repeat this procedure on each blade point.
Installing The Blade:
All the procedure is done. You are just away from unlocking the blade from the vice grip carefully and then set into the saw.
