Hi guys,

has anyone got a copy of the generic risk assessment that the Arb association provide. We are just setting up our Site specific RA on ARbPRO and in it cross references the above generic RA. To use our own Risk Assessment to tie in with the arb pro one will be a challenge.

cheers all

Yes that’s the one

It does state in the manual to change the bolts, nuts and washers on every blade change. Probably down to the fact they are torqued to 300nm. But for 7quid a set it’s worth it in my opinion.

We have changed them every time. This machine only on 152 hrs.

Hi Mick,

ive just had the same with my Forst st6p. I greased the bolts and as standard practice for blade replacement we did it. In the manual on blade change section says nothing at all not to grease. My machine is wrecked and probably going to be over £8k in damages . They now tell me it’s not covered in warranty. The bolts snapped but blade fine
