5.0 Maintenance
5.1 Blade Replacement
Lift the cutter handle all the way back. You now have access to the cutting blade, loosen
the (2) screws that sandwich the blade between the spacer bar and the cutter handle.
Using a magnet tipped screwdriver grab the blade and remove the screws completely.
Take this opportunity to blow out any debris found within the cutter housing.
Although the blade may require replacement it remains extremely sharp, handle
with care. To avoid injury, proper disposal is highly recommended.
Install the new knife blade using a magnetic tipped screwdriver and reusing the same
screws. Ensure the blade is centered and positioned on the mounting block properly.
The knife blade screws should be checked periodically for tightness.
5.2 Periodic Cleaning
Wipe down outer surfaces with alcohol, septihol or mild detergents, specifically those
surfaces/grooves that come in contact with the sliding block.
Inspect the cutter V cradle and blow-out any/all debris.
