MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the blade
Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will result
in reduced cutting efficiency and may cause
overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with a
new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
