6. Using the blade coupling as a handle, lift the blade until the top is high enough
to safely grasp it at the top to lift it the
rest of the way out.
The blade coupling does not need to
be removed.
7. Now, carefully grasp the top of the
blade, keeping your fingers out from
under the blade. If you drop the
blade, it could cause serious damage
to your fingers. Pull it out the top of
the assembly. While pulling the blade
out, grease at both sides will become
apparent. The sides must be greased again after cleaning and before
re-installing the blade.
8. While the blade is removed, clean the grease from the die block guides.
Inspect the die block for excessive wear.
IMPORTANT: If the top and bottom pairs of screws on the die
block (the screws marked with a red substance) are loosened or
removed, the die block alignment will be destroyed.
The blade will not fit properly and will not cut properly.
This problem cannot be fixed without specialized factory tools.
9. Clean the blade. See the next section. Remove all traces of the used grease.
10. Refer to Section 7.10 for lubrication and reassembly information.
