9. BLADE FITTING AND CHANGING (SEE FIG J, K, L, M)
NOTE:
Dull and worn blade cannot be reground and must be replaced. Always replace
blades in pairs.
WARNING:
Remove power cord from the socket before carrying out any adjustments
or changing blades. Always put on gloves when replacing blades.
Using the blade spanner provided to loosen the three installation screws approximately 1/2
rotation anticlockwise.
NOTE:
Do not over-loosen the screws. If the screws are too loose, the alignment of the new
blade will not be accurate.
Before removing the old blades, take notice of the direction of cut as well as how the
tapered edge of the old blades are oriented. The tapered edge of the new blades must be in
the same orientation as the original blades.
Press the safety cover down with your finger. Push the blade out with the tip of a spanner
(or a screwdriver) and then remove.
NOTE:
There is no need to remove the blade clamp as this will change the factory settings
for cutting blade height control.
NOTE:
If a blade cannot be pushed out easily after loosening the screws, use a piece of
wood to break the blade loose from the blade clamp, with a short sharp blow. Then push
with a screwdriver to remove the blades. If necessary, tap the piece of wood sharply with a
small hammer to break the blades loose.
