12.3.3 Knife holder E
The knife holder E is can be used with conventional
disposable blades of all popular brands.
It is available in two versions, the difference being in
the back pressure plate
(5
), one model being delivered
with pressure plate for low profile blades, the other one
with pressure plate for high profile blades.
Both types of pressure plates can also be ordered in-
dependently and fit both knife holder versions, i.e. if
you wish to change from using low profile blades to
using high profile blades and vice versa, you can do so
with the same knife holder E by just ordering an addi-
tional pressure plate.
Inserting the blade
Tilt the knife edge protection shackle
(1)
down-
wards.
To insert the blade, pull the clamping lever
(2)
down-
wards.
Insert the blade
(3)
from one side.
To clamp the plate, rotate the clamping lever
(2)
upwards.
Exchanging the back pressure plate
Loosen the four screws
(4)
on the back of the knife
holder with a no. 4 Allen key.
Remove the back pressure plate
(5)
.
Attach the new pressure plate with the 4 screws
(4)
. Tighten the screws only slightly, so that as the
next step you can adjust height and parallelism of
the pressure plate.
Adjusting the back pressure plate
The back pressure plate
(5)
rests on two screws, which
allow to adjust height and parallelism of the plate. The
screws can be accessed through two bores on the
underside of the knife holder and can be adjusted with
a no. 2 Allen key.
To remove the blade, pull the clamping lever
(2)
downwards.
Carefully remove the blade
(3
) from the holder.
Remove the clamping lever
(2)
by pulling sideways.
With the two screws, adjust height and parallelism
of the back pressure plate
(5)
in such a fashion, that
the support surface for the disposable blade is at a
level about 0.1 mm above the lateral jaws of the knife
holder.
