BLADE REPLACEMENT
The cutting blade is subject to wear and
damage such as nicks and dents. This will
not generally affect its function.
This blade is specially designed to not re-
quire sharpening. Do not attempt to sharpen
this blade. The blade is reversible. If the
nicks and dents are excessive, remove the
blade, turn it around and reinstall. This will
provide a fresh cutting edge. The blades
should be replaced if both sides are worn
and damaged.
A_ CAUTION: When removing or tight-
ening the blade nut, always use the method
shown in figure below. The holding wrench
must always be positioned on the nut be-
hind the cutting blade.
