Because they are ground to a controlled length, the blades cannot
be resharpened. A sudden decline in cutting quality indicates that
the knife blade is chipped. Replace and discard any chipped
blade.
Blades are available in 30°, 45°, and 60° angles. The 45° and 60°
blades are designed for cutting thick materials; the 30° blade is
designed for all other materials.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
Extra blades and special angled blades for sandblast vinyls are
available from your Gerber distributor. Included with the HS750
plus

Replacement procedures for the tangential and swivel knife
