2.3. SAFETY
- Do not put your hand near the rotating blade.
- Before starting, check the electrical connection.
- Always ensure correct direction of rotation, as contra rotation may loosen the
blade.
- The hose must be set in the guide and be supported by the 2 pins (6).
- Never cut at an angle; if the blade deviates from its axis or vibrates, stop
cutting immediately, disconnect from power supply and check condition of
blade.
- Switch off the machine after use. The blade will not stop immediately and
may run silently for some time.
- The machine and blade are designed to cut hoses only. Gates cannot be held
responsible for any other products used.
3. MAINTENANCE
3.1. MAINTENANCE
Before any maintenance or removal of guards, switch off machine and disconnect
from power supply.
This sturdy-built machine requires little maintenance if used as described in this
document.
Only re-sharpening of the blade and renewal of the brush should be necessary in
the years to come.
The slightest crack in the blade indicates that the machine has been used in
abnormal conditions (cutting of different materials or blade overheating for
example) and that the blade requires immediate replacement.
To renew worn parts (blade), remove the casing to gain access.
