7. Replacing the cutter blades:
1) Removing the blades. (See Fig 33-35)
Caution:
Not to touch the tips of the blades
as it would cause hurts to you.
• Remove the guide fence (8).
• Loosen the blade guard locking screw (10) and
slide the blade guard (9) away from the cutter-
block as far as it will go.
• Turn the cutter-block so that one of the blades is
exposed in the gap between the in-feed (6) and
out-feed (13) tables.
• Turn the five blade tensioning screws (anti-
clockwise) to loosen.
• Once all five screws have been loosened, the
blade complete with the blade clamping device
can be easily removed.
Note:
Remember the correct orientation of the
blade to ensure that the new one can be fitted
correctly.
Caution:
Take care not to lose the blade
tensioning springs from the cutter-block
after the blade assembly has been removed.
• Whilst removed, all parts (including the cutter-
block) should be thoroughly cleaned.
