Blade Safety
DANGER
A worn or damaged blade can break, and a
piece of the blade could be thrown at you
or bystanders, resulting in serious personal
injury or death. Trying to repair a damaged
blade may result in discontinued safety
certification of the product.
•
Inspect the blade periodically for wear or
damage.
•
Never try to straighten a blade that is bent
or weld a broken or cracked blade.
•
Replace a worn or damaged blade.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the
blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the blades. Only replace the blades;
never straighten or weld them.
•
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating 1
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
