Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at 
the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most 
common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp 
corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while 
sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull 
teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.

•

Check that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue 
or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support 
flange if it is cracked.

Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The

Nm.

Check that the blade guard is not damaged or cracked. 
Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to impact or is 
cracked.

Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are not 
damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or 
trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or are 
cracked.
