tions.
Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge
area. This may prevent proper discharge and can result in
kickback of material through the feed opening.
Shut off machine immediately if the machine
becomes clogged, the cutting mechanism
strikes any foreign object, or the machine
starts vibrating or making an unusual noise.
Shut off the machine, disconnect the bat-
tery, remove the ignition key and make sure
all moving parts have come to a complete
stop. After machine stops:
Inspect for damage.
Replace or repair any damaged parts.
Check for and tighten any loose parts.
On electric start models, disconnect cables from battery
before doing any inspection or service. Remove key.
Check blade bolts for proper torque after every 8 hours of
operation. Check blades and rotate or resharpen daily or as
required to keep blades sharp. Failure to do so may cause
poor performance, damage or personal injury and will void
the machine warranty.
