4.6 Replacing blade inserts (PLUS)
During blade replacement, the cutter is fixed in place. Any slipping should be avoided. Replacing
the blade requires a soft-face hammer, the roll pins supplied, a punch and the blade inserts
themselves. It makes sense to replace both blade inserts so that the cutting behaviour is not
impaired.
NOTE!
The blade inserts should not be reground, simply cleaning off any soil is
recommended.
Procedure:
The cutter is positioned with the type plate pointing
upward and is fixed in place. A clamping device, as
shown in the illustrations, is not obligatory.
When the blade insert is being changed, the battery
must be removed from the cutter and not under load.
This means that the shear is not completely open
or closed. The blade insert for the cutter blade with the
smooth surface can now be replaced. The roll pins are
knocked out and downward from the punch
(see figure 1).
Fig. 1
After the roll pins have been knocked out of
their position, the blade insert can be pulled out.
The use of a forked screwdriver is recommended.
If the blade insert cannot be loosened immediately,
it can be gently levered out using a punch in the holes
(see figure 2).
