• Make sure all nuts, bolts and screws are tightened.
• Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where
fumes can reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
moving the grinder.
• To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine and petrol storage area free of
grass, dirt and excessive grease.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. If the fuel tank has to be
drained, this should be done outdoors.
• Regularly check the oil level and add some oil or replace it if necessary.
• Frequently check the grinder and ensure that all bark and dirt deposits
are removed from beneath the deck.
• Lubricate the wheel axle and the bearings with grease regularly.
• Check the cutting wheel often. In order to achieve clean work the blade
should always be sharp and well balanced.
• Check the tightening of all bolts and screws at regularly intervals. Nuts
and bolts that are worn out or badly tightened can damage the engine or
the frame.
• If the grinder hits an obstacle violently, stop the grinder and take it to a
specialist for inspection.
