Lubricating the Machine

the machine.
Replacing the Blade

Important: You will need a torque wrench to install the blade properly. If you do not have a torque wrench
or are uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact an Authorised Service Dealer.
If the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have it
sharpened and balanced, or replace it.
WARNING: When servicing the blade, be aware that the blade can still move even though the power
source is off. The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury.
Wear gloves when servicing the blade.
