for making your choice. The number of revolutions must always be
higher or equal to that shown on the machine. The dimensions must
be equal to those shown on the machine.
- Use blades which conform to the regulations in force in the country
of use.
- Do not use HSS (high speed steel) blades or abrasive truncating
discs.
- Always carry out a simple visual check: there must be no deforma-

rePLaCInG tHe BLaDe (FIG. M)
WarnInG! Before conducting any replacement, turn the switch
to the OFF “O” position and unplug the machine from the electric
power supply.
WarnInG! after cutting the blade reaches high temperatures: Wait
for it to cool down before replacing it.
WarnInG! even if the blade has stopped, it is still very sharp: Use
gloves to prevent serious injuries.
WarnInG! the assembly of the blade must be carried out with
absolute precision. Incorrect assembly causes very serious danger.
When replacing the blade, proceed as follows. The operation must
be carried out by an expert; if in doubt please contact an authorised
service centre.
1) Unplug the machine from the electric power supply and set the
machine in cutting off mode.
2) For correct reassembly, observe carefully the various components
before proceeding.
3) Unscrew the screw ( Fig. M1) that secures the lever protections.
4) With 2 keys supplied, unscrew the screw securing the blade. At-
tention: the screw has lefthand thread ; turn clockwise to unscrew
it ( fig.M2 ).
5) Open the protections ( fig.M3 ), remove the outer flange and pull the
blade down (the inner flange must be mounted on the motor shaft).
Be careful if there are rings of adaptation or shimming.
8) Clean the components and the new blade.
9) Install the new blade being careful to follow the direction of rota-
tion: the arrow of the blade must be the same as that printed on the
machine.
10) Replace the outer flange paying attention to the same shaped hole
that will be stuck on the contoured shaft of the motor.
11) Tighten the screw counterclockwise without hitting the key with
hammer or other tools ( fig. M2).
12) Replace the lever guards and secure it with the screw (Fig. M1).
13) Carefully check that all blade guards are operating properly.
14) Make sure that the blade spins freely without irregularities.
15 ) Carry out a test of unloaded run.
