– 14 –
10.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE – FIG.10
Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the necessity for maintenance operations and will keep
your tool in good working condition. Check the condition of the cutting edges of the blades, and
always immediately remove notches and burrs caused by stones etc.
The cutting blade is set back from the edge of the safety rail which reduces the risk of injuries due
to accidental contact with the blades. This gap is shown in the illustration bellow (B).
