8.1.1 Checks
Periodically check that the blades are
not bent, damaged or deformed and that
the screws are adequately tightened.
Adjustment of the distance between
blades is not necessary, as this is
predetermined by the manufacturer.
8.1.2 Sharpening
It is necessary to sharpen the blades when
the trimming performance decreases and
the branches tend to stick together.
For safety reasons, sharpening should
be done by a Specialised Centre with
suitable skills and equipment for the job;
without risking any damage to the blade
which would make it unsafe when used.
Always replace and never repair a
blade which has blunt cutting edges.
8.1.3 Replacement
The blade must never be repaired,
but must be replaced as soon as
signs of breaking are noted or the
sharpening limit is exceeded. For
safety reasons replacements should be
performed by a Specialised Centre,
Blades displaying the code indicated
on the Technical Data table should
be used on this machine.
Given product evolution, the blades listed
in the "Technical Data" table may be
replaced in time with others having similar
interchangeable and operating safety features.
