Press DOWN firmly on the cutter shaft lock. While holding the lever down - rotate the cutter by hand
until the cutter shaft lock “clicks” in to position. When turning the cutter by hand there is only ONE
locking position to be found. Once the cutter shaft lock is fully depressed - Hold it There. You may
now proceed with removing the cutter shaft lock nut and the cutter.
PLEASE . . . DON’T FORGET
to pull UP on the cutter shaft lock when you are finished reinstalling the
cutter wheel. Pulling UP on the cutter shaft lock releases the cutter and the cutter shaft from the locked posi-
tion. Failure to unlock the cutter when attempting to cut a key may result in no rotation of the cutter.
Please
note
- the motor may be powerful enough to slip the belt and permanently damage it by wearing
a flat spot on the belt.
