observed and extreme care is taken when handling knives.

•
Keep handling of unprotected knives to an absolute minimum.

• Have scabbard nearby and insert knife immediately.

•
Knife changing is a ONE PERSON OPERATION . Having more than one person trying to
change knives invites accidents.
Figure 11 – Spartan 150 Knife Change Accessories
The knife changing equipment shown in Figure 11
is included with the machine. The following
instructions show how to remove and install a new or re-sharpened knife. Read through these
instructions AT LEAST ONCE before attempting to actually change or install any blades.
7.1 Knife Removal
1. Make sure the knife and clamp are in the “up” position. Turn the main power switch off and
disconnect the machine power cord to prevent accidental power-up while servicing the cutter.
2. Raise the knife depth of cut by turning the knife adjusting screw located on the right side of the
machine. This will ensure the new knife will not cut too deep. (see Section 6.6 , p. 13). A new
knife will cut deeper than one that has been ground several times. Failure to raise the depth
could damage the new knife and/or the cutting stick.
