STARTING WORK CHECK the following prior to starting the equipment: - Check condition of cutter drum assembly - Check all bolts for tightness - Check drive belt condition and tension - Check drive pulleys are undamaged and clean - Check engine oil level - Check air filter is clean 1.
To control any dust created by the operation connect an industrial dust collector or vacuum to the 50mm port at the side of the machine. We recommend the SPE 316 for almost 100% dust control. In the absence of a dust control unit it is acceptable to spray water onto the surface or to feed water down the vacuum port.
MAINTENANCE PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENT STOP ENGINE. After use: Clean the machine to remove all build up of dust and surface residues. Drum Removal: Remove bolts on side plate and then screw two bolts back into the two tapped holes in the side plate.

Height Adjustment Maintenance: Ensure the height screw thread is cleaned and then lightly oiled. Periodically it should be removed and the female threaded section cleaned out and oiled. At the same time the self-aligning bearing should be greased. The clevis pin should be oiled regularly to maintain a light, smooth height adjustment.

Note: It is possible that the noise level produced by the BEF320 could exceed 90dbA. Personal noise protection must be worn. To control dust it is recommended that an SPE dust control unit/vacuum is fitted. Never leave the BEF320 unattended while in use. Always stop the engine and set the height adjustment fully up before leaving the machine.
