CE AND STORAGE
To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following
maintenance regularly. Servicing and cleaning work on the
product and the removal of the guards may only be carried
out after the motor has been switched off and the plug
disconnected from the power supply.
1). Regularly check for obvious defects such as loose,
dislodged or damaged chain and guide bar, loose
fixings and worn or damaged components.
2). Check that covers and guards are undamaged and
correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or
repairs before using the product.
3). If the cutting device should happen to fail despite the
care taken in manufacturing and testing, repair should be
carried out by an authorised specialist.
4). Do not clean the product while it is running.
5). Ensure that all the fastening elements (screws, nuts,
etc.) are tight at all times so that you can safely work with
the product.
6). Check the pr
oduct frequently for signs of wear. Replace
worn or damaged parts.
7). Store your product in a dry place. To ensure a long
service life all screw parts should be cleaned and then oiled.
8). Clean the product with a brush or cloth. Do not use any
solvents or water to remove dirt.
9). The component that is subject to most wear is the cutting
device. You should therefore check the condition of the cutting
device and its mounting at regular intervals.
- If the cutting device is worn or blunt it must be replaced
immediately.
- If the product starts to vibrate excessively, this means
that the cutting device has not been balanced correctly or
has suffered deformation due to impacts. In this case it
must be repaired or replaced.
