Cutter Blade Removal
Cutter blades will require sharpening or replacing. Care should be taken at all times
when handling them,, as they are very sharp, even when appearing to be dull.
Blades must always be fitted as a pair, and must be of the same type, only fit blades
recommended by the Clarke International.
First, ensure the machine is switched OFF and isolated from the mains supply.
1. Turn the cutter height adjuster so that it registers zero. i.e turn the knob
clockwise so that the depth of cut, registered on the scale, is zero.
2. Remove the Angle Fence.
3. Raise the Cutter Guard arm.
4. Turn the cutter block to reveal the four screws securing the cutter blade.
5. Undo the 4 hex. socket head screws securing the cutter blade support and
cutter blade, then carefully remove them.
6. Turn the cutter block by 180 degrees and repeat the process.

MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the machine from the mains supply before cleaning or
performing maintenance tasks.
This product is designed to operate with minimum of maintenance, however, as
with all power tools, cleanliness is essential in ensuring work is carried out to a
satisfactory standard. Always keep the table free of shavings/dust etc., and clean
the machine thoroughly after use. Use a low pressure air supply to blow dust from
air vents and other parts wherever possible.
Apply a thin film of wax to the table periodically. This will help keep the table
clean and allow workpieces to slide more easily.
Do not use solvents to clean the machine as this could damage plastic
components.
NOTE: It is recommended that sharpening
is done professionally, using a jig, as
blades must be sharpened as a pair to
ensure they are correctly balanced. This
avoids the possibility of vibration due to
unbalanced cutters rotating at speed.
7. Replace in reverse order, and, using a
straight edge, ensure the cutting
edges are level and exactly in line with
the table when they are at 12 o’clock.
Tighten the securing screws taking
care not to overtighten.
