4.It is recommended that work gloves be used
when replacing the blades.
5.The blades have two cutting edges. When the
blades become worn they can be reserved to use
the second cutting edge.
6.Lock the blade disc. by screwdriver. Unscrew the
two inner hexagonal headed bolts(15) and note the
position of the cutting angle of the blade.(Fig.9)
7.Remove the blade and rotate it through 180
degrees and fit the blade to the blade disc ensuring
that the blunt cutting edge is facing downwards.
8.Repeat this for the other blades.
When both cutting edges of the blade have become
worn they must replaced as a pair. The blades can
be re
-
sharpened, but this must be done by an
experienced person using an oil stone. We do not
recommended this be done as the weight of each
blade is critical to maintain the balance of the
cutting disc. Any imbalance could cause damage to
the machine and possible injury to the operator.
