MAINTENANCE
REPLACING BLADE
The blade must be placed with the flat side toward
the table. Only use compatible blades, see blade
compatibility chart on page 2. Any other blade
will not perform properly and may damage your
machine.
WHEN TO HONE
There are three situations when it is very important
to hone the blade (remove burrs) on the flat side of
the blade.
1. After the first 30-100 cuts on a new blade
2. Every 100+ cuts on the job
3. When the blade has been re-sharpened
SHARPENING THE BLADE
The blade can be sharpened to restore a one-side, 21º - 22º knife edge. It is important to note that the
blade must be sharpened only on the beveled side, leaving the flat side flat.
We recommend that power grinding only be done professionally, as the blade must be fluid cooled during this process.
TO HONE
With the blade in the machine, it is quick and
easy to hone; Simply pull the EZ Shear™ handle
down until the blade is just above the blade stop
(approximately 1/8"). Then, lay the wide flat side
of the hone stone against the flat side of the
blade and move hone stone from end to end 2
to 3 times to remove any burrs.
Use Hand Protection! Blade is very sharp!
Note: It is not necessary to remove the small nicks or chips from
the blade edge when sharpening or honing.
