Replacement of the lower blade
1. Move the blade carrier (1) to the end of the lower blade (7) above the eccentric adjuster (9).
2. Loosen the cylinder screws (10).
3. Move the lower blade (7) fully downwards by carefully rotating the eccentric adjuster (9).
4. Loosen the set-screw (11) and remove the lower blade (7) from the eccentric adjuster (9).
5. Mount the new lower blade (7) onto the eccentric adjuster (9) and reinsert the set-screw (11) into the machine
frame.
6. Tighten loosely the cylinder screws (10).
7. Loosen the knurled knob (8) on the upper blade (6) and move the pointer (2) with knob (4) anti-clockwise into
position "16".
8. Move the carrier (1) to the end of the lower blade (7) above the locking screw (11).
9. Loosen the cylinder screw (3).
10. Rotate the knob (4) clockwise until the upper and lower blades gently touch without overlapping.

touching one another at this position, but do not jam.
15. Tighten the cylinder screws (10).
16. Adjust the upper blade position
17. In the event of the optional dial gauge assembly being available, check the alignment of the blades
