D. REMOVING AND INSTALLING A NEW BLADE
(Figures A.7 & A.8):
Note: The shear blade is made of a ceramic
material. This material is very hard and therefore
quite brittle. Do not attempt to flex the blade as it
will break.
1. Remove the trimmer guard as described in “B”
above.
2. Locate the locking set screw located just in
back of the blade retaining screw.
3. Carefully swivel the blade assembly fully open
and turn the set screw into the carriage until it
is flush with the top of the hole. The set screw
locks the carriage assembly preventing it from
moving while the shear blade is being changed.
4. Loosen and remove the blade retaining screw.
Lift the blade retainer from the open (right
hand) side of the carriage assembly.
The shear blade is double edged. When in the
operating position only one half of one edge of the
blade is used to shear the bag. The shear blade
can be mounted in four different positions to get the
most out of a single blade. To keep track of the
used blade positions use a felt pen to mark the
used portian and or side of the blade being
changed (Figure A.8).
5. To remove the shear blade lift ONLY from
the right side of the blade. Turn the blade so it
uses one of the three remaining unused blade
surfaces and set it back onto the carriage
surface. Be sure the blade slots are over the
two mounting posts provided in the carriage
assembly.
6. Carefully replace the blade retainer onto the
carriage and tighten the mounting screw.
7. Screw the locking set screw out of the carriage
allowing the carriage assembly to swivel into
shearing position.
8. Replace the trimmer guard over the trimmer
assembly and retighten the guard mounting
screws
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE THE TRIMMER
WITHOUT ALL GUARDS IN PLACE. THE SHEAR
BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP.
