CSC Combination Puller/Cutter UGE048/1103
5-6 MAINTENANCE
Blades become dull over time depending on the material being
cut, cut rate, blade speed, and blade material and thickness.
Check blades regularly for sharpness as well as scratches,
nicks, burrs, and material buildup. Clean, sharpen or replace
as needed. See Installing Cutter Blades, Section 3.
WARNING
Do not operate the combination puller/cutter
without washers and blade-securing bolt
securely in place.

ARDWARE
DANGER: Sharp blades!
Most injuries caused by knife blades occur
when the cutter has been turned off. Handle
blades with care at all times.
● Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the cut-
ting chamber is open and when handling
blades.
● Always lock out the cutter before opening the
cutting chamber.
● Always wait until the cutter head has stopped
completely before opening the knife guard.
The blade-securing bolt should use both a lock washer and flat
washer, and be tightened enough to fully compress the lock
washer. Replace the holding pins if they appear worn.
