operation.
- The outside diameter of the cutter blade must not exceed 255 mm (10 – 1/32").
Never use any blades surpassing 255 mm (10 – 1/32") in outside diameter.
CAUTION: The appropriate guard must always be installed, for your own
safety and in order to comply with accident-prevention regulations.
Operation of the equipment without the guard being properly in
place must never be attempted.
