Replacing the Cleave Blade
If the Cleave Blade is sufficiently damaged along its edge such that it cannot be re-
positioned to an “un-used”
section, then replacement is required. The entire Cleave Blade is replaced as a unit, and consists of the diamond
Blade tip which is permanently mounted to a stainless steel base with a round, reduced diameter shank.
WARNING
Use great care when working near or handling the Cleave Blade, as the diamond tip is “knife edge”
sharp and can very easily cut through skin.
To replace the Cleave Blade:
1.
Remove any fiber or discard pieces from the FHB’s.
2.
Remove the Micrometer Backstop by loosening the four socket head cap screws holding it in place (use
the 0.05″ hex key supplied with the unit).
