STARTING AND STOPPING

Check before starting
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 nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 
Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 
35-50 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.
Never use the machine without a guard nor with a 
defective guard.
All covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged 
before you start the machine.
