To replace and adjust the swivel knife blade
1. Remove the plastic adjustment
shoe from the base of the tool
holder by rotating it counter-
clockwise until it comes
completely off the tool holder.
Leave the rubber O ring in place.
With the shoe removed, carefully
remove the old blade by grasping
it with needle nose pliers and
pulling gently.
Install a new blade in the hole
provided, pushing the blade in
gently until completely seated.
Carefully thread the shoe onto the
knife holder, turning it clockwise

fully expose the knife blade.

until approximately .005 inches
(about the thickness of two
