WARNING:
a pair of metal gloves must
be worn when cleaning the blade (1)
(Fig. n°53) and use a damp cloth
.
Unscrew the hand grip from the blade-
guard tie rod (1) and extract the blade-
guard (2) using the proper grip to hold it
(Fig. n°53). At this point it is possible to
clean the blade Fig. n°54.
To clean the surfaces opposite the
blade and the ring, the blade must be
extracted in the following way:
1.unhook the bladeguard (
Fig. n°53
);
2.remove the sharpening device (Fig.
n°55 ref. a) and open, utilising the
thickness selection knob, the thick-
ness gauge so that the jig (Fig. n°55
ref. b) adheres to the blade;
3.unscrew the three or four screws (Fig.
n°55 ref. f), depending on the model,
which fasten the blade in position;
4.position the jig (b) on the blade so
that the split in the jig fits in the ring
(Fig. n°55 ref. c);
5.match the axes of the two holes (
Fig.
n°55 ref.d
) on the blade with the two
knobs(
Fig. n°55 ref.e
) on the jig,
simply making the blade turn to the
desired position;
6.screw the two knobs (e) without
excessively tightening them.
N.B.
The bladeguard must be cleaned
with warm water and the detergent pro-
vided or with a warm water and neutral
