HAZARD - Blade sharpening and balan-
cing adjustment, including removal and
refitting, are demanding operations which
require specific competence, as well as
special equipment; especially for safety
reasons, these operations must be carri-
ed out by a specialised after-sale centre.
The same applies to blade replacement
with a new one.
HAZARD – Any damaged or bent blades
must always be changed for safety rea-
sons. Always use original blades.
