    To change to a different size of chip, change the knife block assembly. Spare knife block assemblies are available from Metcalfe. Open the hopper, lift out the knife block and replace with the alternative selected. Knife blocks are available in the following sizes from the standard range: 8mm, 11mm, 14mm and 14x17mm.

    Dispose of the old blades carefully and screw the new knife blade pack in place. See diagram below. For optimum performance Metcalfe recommend changing the blade pack every 6 months, or sooner depending on usage. NOTE: Take care when handling the knife block. The blades are sharp.
