360° Blade Guard Cartridge - Mechanical
The reversible blade guard covers the blade when the knifeholder is retracted during non-operation
and handling.
The guard is held in place by a bracket installed on the guide bar mount and is actuated by the
extension of the knifeholder.
The actuator assembly is reversible; it can be moved to the other side of the blade guard strut if you
need to change the cut side. See page 24.
Modified blade guards are available for strip blades and wide rim blades.
When the blade cartridge is retracted, the blade is guarded. When the blade cartridge extends, the
blade is unguarded.

touches the blade, and then back off one-quarter turn.
The knife blade should spin freely and smoothly on the
blade hub and not rub on the guard.
