REPLACING BLADE

Dismantling
Remove the support roller cover
Screw out the knobs at the outer position – the blade then has no tension on
the drive wheel.
The support roller cover is secured with four screws. Loosen these.
Lift off the cover.
Lift out the blade
Remove the blade from the engagement roller and the blade from the drive
wheel groove. Remove the blade.
Quick check
Check of blade replacement
In connection with the blade replacement it is appropriate and easy to make a
quick check of the condition of the engagement and support rollers.
Roller bearings
Check that the rollers rotate smoothly and easily. In the event of bearing
damage, this must be addressed, see Chapter 8.
Flange and groove
Also check that the engagement roller flange and support roller grooves
(circled) are within acceptable tolerances, see Chapter 6.
If necessary, replace the engagement and support rollers as per Chapter 7.
Bearing holders – engagement rollers
Check that the engagement roller bearing holders do not jam: unscrew the
knobs a few turns and make sure the bearing holders move smoothly and
without resistance.
Replacing the drive wheel
The blade and drive wheel are replaced together
A new blade is fitted with a new drive wheel. When replacing with a used
blade, the associated drive wheel must be fitted.
Used blades can be used with new wheels, but never fit a new blade with a
used drive wheel.
