Warning:
Grinding sparks are a fire hazard. To avoid petrol leaking from the reservoir
when the machine is being tilted, pump any surplus petrol from the reservoir
using a siphon.
• Tilt the machine forward until it leans on its front base and
the handlebar (see illustration).
• Disassemble the cover plate at the back of the machine by
removing the star screw and unhooking the cover from the
machine.
• For grinding, the grindstone of the right-angle grinder should be pulled along the bevelled
side. Ensure that the cut retains its original angle. The top of the blade suffers most during
chipping. Grind it as little as possible to avoid weakening. Correct and timely grinding of the
chipping blades will extend blade life.
For your information:
As soon as the top of the cutting edge becomes
dull the blades are used up and have to be
replaced or reversed.
A blade has two sides.
• The front of the blade has the two chamfered cutting edges.
(F)
• The rear clearly shows the tooth profiling of the cutting area.
(R)
A sharp cutting edge and correct cutting angle are essential for efficient chipping. Blades must
be correctly ground to ensure these two features can be realised.
