1.6 STORAGE
In the case the machine is kept in a non-working state for a long period, it is
necessary to put it into storage in a place that is sheltered from the weather and
protect it in order to avoid damages. Before storage, we recommend to clean the

protect it from rust.
The storage temperature recommended is between 0°C and 50°C.
Please follow the following instructions before putting the machine into storage for
long periods:
● free the chipping disc from any remains of chipped wood
● clean the machine carefully
● perform a visual check of the machine to detect possible structural
damages, to find possible deep abrasions on the paint, to check that the
original safety labels are in the right positions and that they are whole
and clear
● grease all the mechanical parts and the pintles
● store the machine in a covered room, on a flat and compact surface if
possible
