Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure
the machine is in safe working condition.

deterioration.
3. On machines with multi blade, take care as
rotating one blade can cause other blades rotate.
4. Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between
moving blades and fixed parts of the machine.
5. Always allow the machine to cool down before
storing.
6. When servicing the blades be aware that, even
though the power source is switched off, the
blades can still be moved.
7. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use
only genuine replacement parts and accessories.
