SHEARING BLADE REVERSAL/REPLACEMENT
The shearing blades are reversible, so when the first cutting edge becomes
dull, the blades can be rotated to use the second cutting edge.
When both cutting edges of the blade become dull, use wet grinding
techniques for SK-4 metal or better to sharpen the cutting face of the blade.
The upper shearing blade uses a 5° relief edge and the lower table blade
does not. However, if you are not comfortable performing the sharpening
procedure or do not have access to a professional sharpening service,
replacement blades are available through the Clarke spares department.

Tip:
