MAINTENANCE AND SHARPENING OF THE BLADE
WARNING
Periodically check to ensure the blades are not bent or
damaged and that the xed comb on the blade is intact.
Ÿ
Adjustment of the distance between blades is not necessary, as this is predetermined
by the manufacturer.
Ÿ
If the blades are used correctly, following all the instructions provided, they will not
require any maintenance work and will not need sharpening.
Ÿ
It is necessary to sharpen the blades only when the trimming performance decreases
and the branches tend to stick together.
WARNING
Any intervention on the blade should always be conducted at a
specialised Centre that has the most appropriate tools and is
able to perform the operations without compromising the
safety of the machine.
