HOW TO REPLACE THE BLADE
The blade is subject to wear and damage,
such as nicks and dents. This will not gener-
ally affect its function.
The blade is designed to not require sharp-
ening. Do not attempt to sharpen the blade.
The blade is also reversible. If nicks or
dents are excessive, remove the blade and
turn it around. This will provide a fresh cut-
ting edge. Replace the blade if both sides
are worn or damaged.
