To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
The indexable inserts are very sharp and can
easily cut your hands. ALWAYS use caution

Rotating/Replacing
Inserts
(G0946/G0947)
The spiral cutterhead is equipped with 2-sided
indexable inserts. Each insert can be removed,
rotated, and re-installed to use either of its two
cutting edges. If one cutting edge becomes dull
or damaged, simply rotate it 90° (see
Figure 33)
to use a sharp cutting edge.
The inserts have a reference dot on one corner.
The position of the reference dot on installed
inserts can be used to track which edges are
sharp/unused and which edges are dull or dam-
aged. Replace inserts once the reference dot has
been rotated back to its original position.
