• Contact with rotating cutting head or

personal injur y or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

form any maintenance on it.
The Maruyama Trimmer/Brushcutter will provide max-
imum performance for many, many hours if it is main-

Blade Sharpening
IMPORTANT: Replace any blade that is worn,
wraped, cracked or otherwise damaged in any
way.
IMPORTANT: Sharpen every tooth evenly so
the blade rotates smoothly. If you sharpen a
blade with a grinder, do not overheat the blade,
and do not quench a hot blade in water to cool it.
Never leave a sharp radius or groove when
grinding or filing.
