Adjusting Blade
Brush
The Model G0886 has a blade brush to help keep
metal chips off the blade wheels. It will wear over
time and require re-adjustment when it no longer
makes proper contact with the blade. Eventually
the brush will require replacement. This is con-
sidered a normal wear item and is not covered by
warranty.
