11.7.3. Replacing the blade
Caution:
when maintaining the blades, always wear protective safety clothing,
sturdy gloves and safety goggles.
When to replace the blade:
• When
distortion
has occurred. (see examples below)
• If the blade has become too thin or narrow due to
wear and tear
. The horizontal part of the
blade is 6 cm (2.4”) wide and 6 mm thick.
Wear and the resharpening of blades causes material to be removed, reducing the blade width.
If the width is down to 5 cm (2”) the blade must be replaced. The thickness of the blade will also
become thinner when scraping the ground. If you see that the thickness of the material has
decreased to 5 mm in several places, the blade must be replaced.
• If there are
breaks
or fracture lines the blade must be replaced.
You must always use an original ELIET blade. This can be ordered from your authorised ELIET
dealer using order code: BU 105 041 150.
If, when removing the blade, you notice that nuts or bolts are damaged, perceive wear, or see
distortion to the screw thread, this must also be replaced immediately. This can be ordered using
