Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure
the machine is in safe working condition.
2. Check the grass collector frequently for wear or
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.
