6.7.1 Knives/Blanks Storage
The knife blank holster has two methods of retention, L and S, as shown in Figure 6.f.
Upper pin L can be pulled out from the left by first removing the pin on the right. The
lower pin S is used as a clamping device, to prevent knives/blanks from vibrating and
can be loosened by turning anti-clockwise and tightened by turning clockwise.
Removal of knives/blanks is the reverse of the installation procedure. Pay particular
attention to all decal warnings and safety advice.
17. Here the knives are shown fully down/retracted, with lock-shaft returned to
the “locked” position (R). Knife tips should protrude 20 to 30 mm maximum
(T).
18. Rotating lever B back up to 90° onto lock-pin, locks all knives/blanks
securely.
19. The knife blanks are stored in the knife/knife blank holster which is located in
the front left compartment of the Fusion 3. They are to be used any time one
or more knives are removed.
WARNING: Turn the levers back into their working position
Do not forget to turn the levers back into their working position(s), but
only after completing all work on the machine as shown.
WARNING: Compartment doors panels must be closed while the
machine is running - danger of rotating components
Always keep the compartment door panels closed while the machine is
running because of the danger of rotating components! Take note of all
warning decals and ensure that all safety measures and precautions are
implemented before attempting to carry out any maintenance work.
