Check Before Starting; Starting And Stopping - McCulloch B33 B Manual De Instrucciones

Check before starting

• Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have
formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the center
hole. The most common reason why cracks are
formed is that sharp corners have been formed at
the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that
the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a
blade if cracks are found.
• Check that the support # ange is not cracked due to
fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard
the support # ange if it is cracked.
• Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force.
The nut lock must have a locking force of at least
1.5 Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut
must be 35-50 Nm.
• Check that the blade guard is not damaged or
cracked. Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to
impact or is cracked.
Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are
not damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or
trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or
are cracked.
• Do not use the unit without a guard nor with a
defective guard.
• All covers must be correctly " tted and undamaged
before you start the unit.
