REPLACEMENT TEETH –
Improper cutting may be due to dull or
damaged drill teeth or drill point. Maintain sharp blade teeth and
point. Preserve the original factory cutting angles when sharpening
your drill. File blade teeth and use a disk sander to sharpen the
point. For professional service see your Jiffy service center. Only
genuine Jiffy blade teeth are to be used.
BLADE TEETH REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS –
When
replacing blade teeth, the beveled edge of teeth and the head of the
capscrews should face the ice. The stamped part number on the
teeth should face away from the ice, as shown in the diagram. Use
two 7/16” wrenches to remove the capscrews and to retighten after
replacement. CAUTION –
THE BLADE TEETH ARE SHARP AND
SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY TO AVOID FLESH CUTS
OR INJURY.
