IMPORTANT! When starting the machine for the first time, check that
blade rotation direction is as indicated by the arrow located on the
blades covers. If the rotation direction is incorrect, invert the phases in
the phase inverter located in the power socket (electric box). Setting
the phases in the phase inverter correctly will ensure correct rotation
directions of all machine motors.

without any load for 1-2 hours. It will let the infeed and outfeed tables
drive components to grind in.
The Edger can be lifted using the forklift only. Forklift must be rated for at least 2000kg. Edger
