Knife guard on the knife holder
Each knife holder is equipped with a tightly
mounted knife guard (
8

ble to cover completely the cutting edge in ev-
ery knife or blade position.

The knife guard (

) of the knife holder N/NZ can
be easily positioned via the two handles (
7
)
(

).
To cover the knife edge, push both cover strips
of the knife guard to the center.
Knife holder E
The knife guard on knife holder E consists of a
red foldaway handle. To cover the cutting edge,
fold the knife guard handle (

) upwards as illus-
trated in

For the new knife holder E, the two
clamping levers (10, 11) must always
remain in the position shown.
