Care & Maintenance
Warning! Make sure the ma-
chine is switched off and un-
plugged.
- Always keep the machine clean,
dry and free of oil or grease.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves to
protect your eyes and hands whilst
cleaning.
- For safe and proper working, al-
ways keep the machine and venti-
lation slots clean.
- Regularly check for obvious defects
and/or damaged components.
- Periodically check all fixings. These
could become loose with time due
to vibration.
- The most used part is the blade. In-
spect the blades regularly:
- If the blade is worn or blunt, it must
be replaced immediately.
- If the machine starts to vibrate ex-
cessively, the blades seem to be
unbalanced and must be replaced.
- Replace any worn or damaged
parts.
- If the body of the machine needs
cleaning, wipe it with a brush or a
soft damp cloth. A mild detergent
can be used but nothing like alco-
hol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
- Never use caustic agents to clean
plastic parts.
- Lubricate all moving parts at regu-
lar intervals.
- Store the machine in a dry place
and out of the reach of children.
Danger! If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer or its
service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid hazard.
