BUZZBAR HEAD

BLADES

For best performance, have blades set and sharpened when they begin to dull. Blades can be touched up with a grinder or file between sharpenings.

To extend the life of the blade, remove resin accumulations. When the resin builds up, the blades will "burn" in the cut, causing the blades to overheat and warp. 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 Scotch-Brite pad or steel wool. Apply these products carefully since many of them will remove paint from your BuzzBar. Always follow manufacturer's instructions for safe use.

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.
