CAUTION ! For any handling of the knife and the counter knife, be very careful because the knives are
very fragile (very brittle). Any shock against each other or drop on the floor would damage them in an
irreversible way.
Switch off the power of the Onglematic Thumb cutter and unplug the machine.
Remove the protective cover off by unscrewing the 4 screws BHC 5x6.
Lift up the “safety screen” at the maximum height and hold it thanks to a rubber band (see the picture below).
10.1 FOR THUMB CUTTING OR CORNER ROUNDING TOOLS
If the thumb cutting or corner-rounding tool is installed, remove first the “swivel plate” by unscrewing 2 screws FHC 5 x
12 located against the upper part of the knife plate.
It is very important to hold the knife while unscrewing, so that
the cutting plate does not fall off as soon as you unscrewed the swivel plate.
Take out the cutting plate by lifting up the plate on its axle.
Remove the counter cutting plate by unscrewing 2 screws FHC 5 x 12.
Put the counter cutting plate corresponding to the new tool, by screwing 2 screws FHC 5 x 12.
Remember the knife is really fragile (very brittle). First place gently the new cutting plate inside the specific gap
in the counter cutting plate and second, place its axle in the axle support meant for that purpose.
Screw the swivel plate back on the upper part of the knife plate by screwing the 2 screws FHC 5 x 12.
If the paper chips evacuation is no more perfect, we advise you to put a Teflon coat on the inside surface of the
knife. Product ref: Anti-Friction Coating Spray / MOLYKOTE / PTFE-N-UV.
10.2 FOR PUNCHING TOOL:
If the punching tool is installed, remove first the punching tool by unscrewing 2 screws FHC 5x12, which are inside the
part.
Remove then the pushing tool in the upper part by unscrewing 2 screws CHC 6x60 inside the part.
Fix the pushing tool in the upper part with the help of 2 screws CHC 6x60 by pressing the 4 small springs at the same
time.
ATTENTION: be sure that ends of screws don’t come out on the backside. Otherwise they will stir the
machine functioning and it can be damaged in the irreversible way
.
Put the new punching tool by fixing 2 screws FHC 5x12, which are inside the part. We deliver a special screwdriver to
facilitate the access to these screws.
Remove the rubber band and hold the safety screen to go down.
Put back the protective cover using the 4 screws BHC 5 x 6. Plug in the machine.
