MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the blade
Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will result in
reduced cutting effi ciency and may cause overloading of
the motor. Replace the blade with a new one as soon as
excessive abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
