SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Cutting equipment
This section describes how through correct maintenance and
through using the right type of cutting equipment you can:
• Reduce the machine‘s tendency to kickback
• Obtain maximum cutting capacity.
• Increase the service life of the cutting equipment.
Four basic rules:
1)Only use the cutting
and guard equipment
we recommend! See
chapter “Technical
data“.
2)Keep the blade‘s teeth
well and correctly
sharpened! Follow our
instructions and use the
recommended filing
gauge. An incorrectly
sharpened or damaged
blade increases the risk
of an accident.
3)Keep the correct setting.
Follow our instructions
and use the
recommended setting
tool. An incorrectly set
blade increases the risk
of jamming and
kickback.
4)Check the cutting
equipment with regard
to damage and crack
formation. Damaged
cutting equipment
should always be
replaced.
8. Locking nut
• Protect your hand from
injury when assembling,
use the blade guard as
protection when tightening
with a socket spanner.
Tighten the nut by turning
against the direction of
rotation. Loosen the nut by
turning in the direction of
rotation. (NOTE! the nut
has a left-hand thread).
• Tighten the nut using a
socket spanner, 35 - 50
Nm (3.5 - 5 kpm).
NOTE!
The locking nut‘s nylon lock
must not be so worn that it
can be turned by hand. The
lock shall hold at least 1.5
Nm. The nut should be
replaced after it has been put
on approx. 10 times.
!
WARNING!
Never use a machine with defective
safety equipment. The safety equipment
should be maintained as described in
this section. If your machine does not
meet any of these controls you should
contact your service workshop.
