REMOVING THE CUTTER
The cutter wheel is secured to the cutter shaft with a
LEFT-HAND
NUT. See figure 14. You must turn the
nut to the
RIGHT

Remember to LOCK the cutter shaft before removing the cutter wheel (see figure 13).
Use a 1" open-end or hex wrench to remove the Left-Hand Nut.
Figure 14
REPLACING THE CUTTER
Before you replace the cutter—clean off any cuttings from the cutter shaft with a clean rag. Apply a small
amount of white grease to the cutter shaft face, shank and threads before installing the cutter wheel and Left-
Hand Nut.
DON'T OVER TIGHTEN
the cutter wheel nut-The Left-Hand Nut is self locking as you use it. Over
tightening the cutter wheel nut may make it harder to remove later and may result in damaging the cutter shaft
lock or cutter shaft pulley.
PLEASE...DON'T FORGET
to pull UP on the cutter shaft lock when you are finished reinstalling the cutter
wheel. Pulling UP on the cutter shaft lock releases the cutter and cutter shaft from the locked position. Failure
to unlock the cutter when attempting to cut a key will result in no rotation of the cutter. Please note
however—the motor may be powerful enough to slip the belt and permanently damage it by wearing a flat
spot on the belt.
