● Insert screws (1) through the bores and
screw on nuts (2). Tighten the nuts (2)
to 10 Nm.
● Install the blade set. (
Sharpening the blades:
Blades which are blunt on both sides must
be sharpened before resuming work.
In order to ensure optimum machine
operation, the blades should only be
sharpened by a technician. VIKING
recommends VIKING specialist dealers.
● Remove the blades for sharpening.
● Cool the blades when sharpening,
e.g. with water. The blade must not be
allowed to display blue colouring, as
this would reduce its cutting quality.
● Sharpen the blade evenly to prevent
vibrations due to imbalance.
● Check blades for damage before
installing: The blades must be replaced
if notches or cracks are visible or if the
blades have reached the wear limits.
● Sharpen blades at a sharpening angle
of 30°.
19
● Sharpen the blades against the cutting
edge.
● After sharpening, remove any
sharpening burr at the cutting edge
