Maintenance: static blade adjustment or replacement
Important Note:
Always ensure the machine is turned off and unplugged before
commencing any maintenance operations. Failure to do so could result in
serious damage to the machine or risk of injury.
The static blade comes pre-calibrated and should not be adjusted unless:
- You are replacing the main cutting blade and while installing it, you feel it
catching on the static blade (As shown in Step 7 and Step 8 of the blade
replacement maintenance page.)
- The static blade has become dull and requires replacement.
Adjustment:
Step 1:
To adjust the static blade (2), loosen the 2 static blade bolts (1), but do not
unscrew them completely. (If you are replacing the static blade, remove the 2
bolts and washers completely, take out the static blade by hand, insert a new
one, then reposition the bolts and washers, ensuring they are not fully tightened
to allow movement of the static blade.)
Step 2:
Ensure that the cutting blade bolts (4) are removed from the cutting blade (3),
and you can freely spin the blade by hand, as shown in Step 7 of the blade
replacement maintenance page.
Step 3:
Gently push the static blade (3) slightly to the left so it reaches the cutting blade
area. Now, using your hands, spin the cutting blade counterclockwise 360
degrees a few times. This action will push the static blade back to the right into
the correct position. Tighten the bolts of the static blade. Once tightened, use
your hands again to spin the cutting blade clockwise for a few rotations. If you
feel it catching on the static blade, restart the process and repeat the previous
steps until there is no catching. When it spins without catching, the adjustment or
replacement is successful.
Step 4:
You can now bolt the cutting blade (3) back in place using the corresponding
bolts (4) and reinstall the protection screen.
