To Rotate or Replace the Top Blade:
1. Raise the blade to the up position.
2. Shut down and lockout power to the machine.
3. Remove the yellow safety guard.
4. Remove the shadow wire to avoid breaking it, before changing the blade. Loosen the
center bolts of both brackets and the outside setscrews to relieve tension on the wire.
(fig. 25)
5. CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR LEATHER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE BLADE.
Remove the capscrews and washers that hold the blade in place.
6. Turn the blade end for end if the other side is sharp, or replace the blade with a new one.
7. When the blade is in position, secure with the bolts and washers.
8. Re-attach the shadow wire. Adjust so that the wire is taut and as close to the blade as
possible without touching.
9. Re-mount the yellow safety guard!
10. Set the blade gap arm to the
3/16” (4.76mm) setting, start the machine, and lower the
top blade until it overlaps the bottom blade along the full length. The gap should measure
.60mm or .023” along the full length. (The blades must be parallel.)
11. The blade gap adjustment setscrews are shown in (fig. 26). These were preset at the
factory. ADJUST ONLY IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
Keep hands and fingers clear of the shearing blade and clamping cylinders.
