9. Use the magnets on the top of the T-wrench to attract the knife clamp and lift it
off of the cutter head. One of the knives should now be exposed.
10. Use the magnet (T) on the top of the T-wrench (Fig. 19) to attract the knife. Avoid
touching it with your fingers.
If only one side of the knife is worn:
1. Turn the knife around so that the sharp, unused edge hangs over the end of the
cutter head where it will cut the material. Be sure to set the oblong holes in the
knife over the pins machined on the cutter head.
2. Reset the knife clamp over the knife. Be sure to align the beveled edge on the
clamp with the sharp, cutting edge of the knife. If these are not aligned correctly,
the clamp will not secure the knife properly.
3. Install the screws into the clamp and tighten sufficiently.
