In order to preventinjuries caused by the blades when not in use, the sharp-ened cutting blade should be covered by the blade cover(Fig. 4). The blades cannot be sharpened by the userwithout opening the equipment and the safety mecha-nism. Resharpening of the blades can therefore only becarried out at a specialist workshop.Changing the bladesOnly correct installation of the blades will guarantee problem-free operation and function of the above mentioned safetyfeature of the blades.
