Adjusting blade clearance
In order to ensure sufficient work safety and cutting power, the clearance between the cutting blade
and counter blade must always be less than 2 mm. Dull blades must be sharpened and worn out
blades must always be replaced with new ones.
If the blade clearance suddenly increases, first check bolt tightness and machine condition. The
optimal way to sharpen the blades is to use an angle grinder equipped with a small lamellar disc.
The blades can also be sharpened by sending them to the manufacturer.
If the blade clearance is less than 2 mm, the clearance does not need to be adjusted.
Detaching the counter blade
The counter blade can be detached from the machine by opening the seven bolts that fasten the
blade to the machine’s body. The blade wheel must be in the correct position in order for the bolts
to be removed without removing the blade wheel.
Position the blade wheel correctly by rotating the device with the electrical motor. Then, press the
emergency stop button and disconnect the electrical cord from the socket. Once this is done, you
can run the machine manually by opening the maintenance hatch and rotating a suitable shaft to get
the blade wheel in the correct position. Removal of the counter blade is only necessary when the
blade is worn out. Once the feed guard has been removed, the counter blade can be sharpened with
a small angle grinder. If you have doubts about your ability to do this, send the machine to the
manufacturer for servicing.
Detaching the cutting blades
To replace the cutting blades, remove the entire blade wheel. The blade wheel must be replaced by
the manufacturer.
