MAINTENANCE
Sharpening the clearing blade
! | WARNING! |
Incorrect cutting equipment or an | |
incorrectly sharpened blade increases | |
the risk of kickback. |
Maintenance schedule
Below follows some general maintenance instructions.
If you need further information please contact your service workshop.
• See the cutting |
equipment’s packaging for correct filing instructions.
• A correctly sharpened blade is a prerequisite for working efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and clearing saw.
• Make sure that the blade is well supported when you use the file. Use a 5.5
mm round file with a file holder.
•The sharpening angle is 15°. Every other tooth is sharpened to the right and the intermediate tooth to the left. When the blade has been heavily
pitted by stones the upper side of the teeth can, in exceptional cases, need to be dressed using a flat file. In such cases this takes place before sharpening with the round file. Dressing the top side must be carried out equally for all teeth.
•Adjust the setting. This should be 1 mm.
Daily maintenance
1.Clean the outside of the machine.
2.Make sure the harness is not damaged.
3.Make sure the throttle trigger lock and the throttle function correctly from a safety point of view.
4.Check that the stop switch functions.
5.Check that the cutting head does not rotate while idling.
6.Clean the air filter. Replace if necessary.
7.Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked.
Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked.
8.Check that the blade is well centred, is sharp, and is not cracked. An uncentred blade causes vibrations that can result in damage to the machine.

10.Check that the locking nut is tight.
11.Check that the blade‘s transport guard is intact and that it can be secured correctly.
