DANGER
If you allow a blade to wear, a slot will
form between the sail and flat part of the
blade. Eventually a piece of the blade
may break off and be thrown from under
the housing, possibly resulting in serious
injury to you or bystanders.
• Inspect the blade periodically for wear
or damage.
• Never try to straighten a blade that
is bent or weld a broken or cracked
blade.
