Carefully remove the old blade from the blade
change tools. Set the blade on a flat surface and
unscrew the handles. Cap the old blade with a
protective pad to prevent injury.

Place the new blade with the beveled cutting edge
facing up, and the screw holes at the top, as shown
here. Remove the protective pad from the new
blade.
Attach the blade change tools to the new blade.
Do not screw the blade tools all the way in, there
needs to be enough of a gap approx. 1/4” so the
blade can be slid back into position.Then reverse
the procedure to install the new blade.

After installing the new blade, it will need to be
adjusted for proper positioning and cutting depth.

Adjust the blade to touch the cutting stick evenly by
using the two screws at the top (Y).

Raise the blade lever arm to the top position and
lock it. Then make a trial cut with a single sheet of
paper. If the paper is not cut through completely, the
blade must be adjusted using the screws (X)
and/or (Y).
NOTE: The two (Y) screws are for horizontal
adjustment and the (X) screw is for minor up-down
adjustment.
