To adjust the blade setting, place the grey ratchet cap on the end of the blade so the arrow on the cap
lines up with the red line on the blade. Turn the ratchet to the desired number.
Unlock the blade holder by turning the lock lever counter-clockwise. Place the blade housing in
the blade holder and turn the lock lever clockwise to secure the blade. Be sure the blade housing is
pressed completely into the holder.
