Inspection and maintenance
WARNING:
•
Before inspecting or maintaining the equipment, switch off
the motor and remove the spark plug cap or battery cartridge.
Otherwise the cutting tool or other parts may move and result in
serious injury.
•
When inspecting or maintaining the equipment, always put it
down. Assembling or adjusting the equipment in an upright
position may result in serious injury.

precautions" and the instruction manual of the power unit.
Resharpening the cutting tool

Do not resharpen cutting blades by yourself. Manual resharpening
unbalances a cutting blade and it can cause vibrations and damage
to the equipment.
Ask Dolmar authorized service center to resharpen and rebalance
blunt cutter blades.
