6280 BLADES

Figure B
BLADE SETTING (continued)
• Self scoring blades are available in a number of sizes. These blades eliminate the need for pre-scoring
material. Depending upon the type of material being removed and the sharpness of the blade and
scoring wings, the self scoring blades may make it harder to control the machine.
• Keep scoring wings sharp at all times.
• Keep your work area clean and clear of debris.
• After you have removed a portion of material, remove it out of the way. This will give the machine
maximum performance and help to keep the work area safe.
BLADE CHANGING
• Sharp blades are imperative for good performance.
• Always wear gloves when changing blades.
• Use supplied extended wrench or a socket wrench with at least a 3" extension to keep hand safely
away from the sharp edge of the blade.
1. Place a block under the front of the machine as shown in Figure A, using a flat piece of 2 x 4 or
something similar.
2. Loosen five (5) hex head bolts with extended bolt wrench (See Figure B). It is not necessary to
remove bolts. Place blade into cutting head, sliding all the way back to the bolts. If the blade is
wider than the cutting head, center blade to head. If blade is smaller than the cutting head, first
pass blade should be mounted in center of the cutting head. After first pass is made, blade can
be offset in head to allow wheels to keep even contact with the floor and allow easy access to
the wall.
CAUTION:
Blades are sharp.
