When cutting some types of trees, blades will need to be cleaned every few hours. To remove the resin, use oven cleaner or lacquer thinner with a
Blades should turn clockwise when views from the top. See illustration below for hose routing.
LUBRICATION
Grease each spindle with one pump of high quality lithium grease weekly. More than one pump is unnecessary and will cause extra grease to spill from the relief.
Grease fittings are located in front of the machine, just above the blades.
