INSTALLING NEW SHAVER BLADES
Inspect your equipment before replacing the blades. Use a flashlight to examine the blades in
the shaver body. If the blades appear to be nicked or bent, then the blades should be re-
placed. Follow this procedure:
1. Unplug the main power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the cutterhead from the motor shaft by loosening the Allen head set screw
between the motor and the gooseneck. Use the special Allen wrench that was supplied
with your machine.
3. Remove the cutterhead. Pull the cutterhead off of the motor shaft and through the
gooseneck. If the cutterhead is frozen onto the shaft, remove the hold down bolts on
the motor. Pull the motor back, trapping the cutterhead against the inside of the goose
neck, until the cutterhead disengages.
4. After removing the cutterhead, check the motor shaft for burrs and corrosion. Use a
fine tooth file to remove the burrs and corrosion.
5. Remove the blades from the cutterhead. These blades may be resharpened, but it is
far better to replace the old blades with a new set.
6. Position the new blades and insert screws until they are finger tight.
7. Set the blade thickness equal to a penny. (See illustration below.) Make sure that the
height is even across the cutterhead.
8. Tighten the blade screws completely. Check the blades again with a penny to ensure
the blades did not move while tightening the screws.
9. Replace the motor and cutterhead. Mount the motor using the hold down bolts. Insert
the cutterhead through the gooseneck and onto the motor shaft. Press the cutterhead
onto the motor shaft with the pusher handle, then move the cutterhead in another 1/8".
Check that the cutterhead is not rubbing against the back of the gooseneck and the
blades are not touching the pusher handle.
10. Replace the set screw between the gooseneck and the motor.
NOTE:
Replace the shims that were between the motor base and the mounting surface. The
motor shaft must be in alignment with the shaver drive shaft. Misalignment will cause the
motor coupling to wear rapidly.
Set top of blade flush with
height gage, as shown.
