Knife Blade
For ease and safety during blade maintenance, Tidland recommends the use of the Tidland
Bench Fixture.
Removing
1. Remove the blade cartridge (p. 28)
2. Press and hold the blade lock pin and rotate the blade hub until it stops.
3. Loosen the three blade clamp screws.
4. Rotate the blade clamp counterclockwise and slide it off the blade hub when the clearance holes
are aligned with the blade clamp screw heads.
5. Remove the knife blade.
Reinstalling
1. Make sure the blade cartridge is held securely.
2. Clean the blade hub surface where the blade mounts to assure correct fit of the blade and to help
prevent blade runout (wobble).
3. Replace the knife blade with the slitting edge toward the strut.
4. Replace the blade clamp onto the blade hub. Rotate the blade clamp clockwise until the counter-
bored areas of the clearance holes are under the blade clamp screw heads.
5. Tighten the three Grade 8.8 blade clamp screws to the appropriate torque value:
Class I .............................. 9 in·lbs (1.02 Nm)
Class II and III .................. 45 in·lbs (5.10 Nm)
6. Replace the blade cartridge onto the dovetail (p. 28).
Blades are sharp! Can cause serious injury.
Repairs should be performed by trained repair personnel only.
