Knives and counter – knife
In order to achieve an easy cut, always keep a sharp edge. The blades edges should
always have an inner distance of 0,5mm towards the edge of the anvil. The outer
distance between blades and anvil is a little bit wider.
Check knives regularly.
Knives, which due to resharpening get too narrow apart from the anvil have to be
compensated by shims.
Caution:
Even flywheels moved by hand, when replacing knives f.i., have enough
force, due to their weight, to cause squeeze injuries.
Please take care of the following information to sharpen the blades.
