Changing Blades

There is a large variety of cutting and scraper blades avail-
able for the Vecturo (see
12 for blade choices). Blades should be changed for dif-
ferent tasks or when they become dull. The Fast Fix system
allows blades to be changed without tools.
CAUTION! Take care when changing blades and
consider wearing gloves when handling the blades.
Unplug the tool to prevent accidental startup.
►
The cutting blade can become very hot during use,
►
and can cause burns.
The cutting edges are sharp and pose a significant
►
risk for injury.
1. Unplug the Vecturo from power.
2. Raise the Fast Fix lever and rotate it a full 180° to release
the blade mandrel. (The lever is compressing very strong
springs and requires a fair amount of force to fully rotate
it.)
