Inspecting, replacing, and adjusting the anvil
•
Clearing a blockage

Carefully release the feed roller springs
The feed roller springs can store a dangerous amount of energy so extreme care needs to be taken
when releasing them. Ideally, try to release them using a stick or long tool. In any case, keep your
hands away from the swinging path of the handle as it releases the tension.

Lift the swing arm up and insert the rotor lock pin into the locking hole:
•
With the machine off and cutting rotor stopped, the feed roller area can be accessed safely.
