4.1: Replacing Slitter Blades
If a blade becomes dull you will need to rotate the blade to one of the four cutting corners. If all
cutting corners have been used, you will need to replace the blade. Follow this procedure.
1. Press the release latches to open the
slitter station.
2. Loosen the thumbscrew on the slitter
blade housing containing the dull
blade. Completely remove the
thumbscrew.
3. The blade and housing will detach
from the opposite side.
4. Rotate or replace the blade.
5. Fit the blade over the locator pin and the thumbscrew capture pin.
Tip! Mark the dull blade corners with a
permanent marker before rotating the blade.
