Installing the Blade
There are three (3) components to the complete blade
assembly unit: the Cutting Blade, the Magazine, and the
Blade Stiffener. Make sure you have all three parts before
continuing. When cutting material up to ¼" (7mm) thick, use
the back stop position in the Magazine. When cutting
material ¼" (7mm) to ½" (13mm) thick, use the forward stop
position in the Magazine.
CAUTION:
Blades are very sharp, so use care when
handling blades or positioning the magazine
.

2.
Remove the Blade Stiffener from its position in the
Magazine.
3.
Position the Blade in the forward stop position for

blade.
