Cutter Wheel Replacement
1. Rotate head casting to full back position.
2. Use appropriate sized adjustable wrench and
turn cutter wheel shoulder screw counter
clockwise. As you withdraw shoulder screw
from head casting, remove wheel as it is
released from shoulder screw.
3. Replace cutter wheel by positioning cutter
wheel in the head casting over hole for
shoulder wheel screw. Insert shoulder screw
and tighten with adjustable wrench.
NOTE: If you choose to buy a cutter wheel
without a bearing it will be necessary for you to
remove the bearing from your existing wheel
and press it into your new wheel. Ensure that
you use only a Collins #R04201428R bearing.
