The PBS Shaving Blade is two blades in one. The blade has two shaving edges so that a
fresh edge can be exposed by simply rotating the blade 180
˚
. Your machine was shipped
from the factory with a double edged blade installed. The following instructions can be used
to either rotate the blade to expose a fresh edge, or to install a new blade (Item #1550).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury unplug the unit before
rotating or removing the Ice Shaver Blade.
1. Unplug the PBS and remove the Ice Bin Lid, any remaining ice (See page 18 for Ice
Removal Instructions), and the Ice Shelf.
CAUTION:When completing the following steps assure that you
do not accidentally come in contact with the shaving blade. The
blade is extremely sharp and can cause serious injury.
2. Visually locate the position of the Shaver Blade. Grasp the Shaver Wheel so as to avoid
the blade, hold the Shaver Wheel stationary while you rotate and remove the Paddle Nut
counter clockwise
3. With the Paddle Nut removed lift the Shaver Wheel off of its mounting shaft.
NOTE: If the Shaver Wheel sticks and is difficult to remove, tap the end of the mounting
shaft lightly with a hammer to loosen.
4. With the Shaver Wheel removed locate the two screws holding the Shaver Blade, remove
the screws and set aside.
5. If the second edge has not been used, simply remove the blade and rotate the blade 180˚
and replace.
DO NOT TURN THE BLADE OVER.
6. If a new blade is being installed, discard the old blade and shim and replace with the new
blade and shim.
NOTE: Blades and shims must be installed together as a pair to ensure proper PBS
operation. When replacing a blade always discard the old blade and old shim and install
only all new parts.
7. Securely tighten the two screws. The screws should be flush with the surface of the blade.
If the screws are not flush, check that the blade is right side up.
8. Reinstall the Shaver Wheel onto the mounting shaft.
9. Replace the Paddle Nut by holding the Shaver Wheel stationary and turning the Paddle
Nut clockwise until snug. Be careful not to come into contact with the Shaver Blade.
10. Replace the Ice Shelf. The PBS is now ready for use.
