■ Removing/installing the blades
〈Removing the blades〉
1. Turn the lower blade adjustment handles (left and right)
one―half turn in the counterclockwise direction to open the
gap between the bottom blade and the blades.
2. Place a block of wood underneath the blades so that it is
not resting on the front roller or rear roller. Move the han-
dle up and down until the blades are resting on the block
of wood.
3. Loosen and remove the two M8 bolts on the cutter cover,
and then remove it along with the front cover.
