The guard is designed to be exible.
With usage, scu and gouge marks natu-
rally develop. The nger guard is safe to use
as a barrier sll exists between the ring and
the paents skin. However if the guard has
been cut through it must be replaced.
No. This indicates that dried gel and metal
debris have formed a coang on the walls
of the groove in the guide block and need
removing by cleaning thoroughly.
This is a precauonary requirement. During
use heat builds up in the motor and over
me can reach a temperature where the
insulaon on the motor windings starts to
break down. This can cause a short circuit
to develop resulng in the heang up of
the retaining springs in the baery cassee,
which at a certain temperature will collapse
and cut o the power to the motor.
A noisy motor does not automacally
indicate that the motor needs replacing. A
drop of lubricant on the drive sha bearing
at the front of the motor and another on
the bearing at the back of the motor should
help to reduce noise.
