Inspecting Cutter Blades
Blades become dull over time depending on the material being cut, cut rate, blade
speed, and blade material and thickness. Check blades regularly for sharpness as
well as scratches, nicks, burrs, and material buildup. Clean, or replace as needed.
See Installation Section entitled, Installing Cutter Blades.
Inspecting Blade Hardware
The blade-securing bolts should use both a lock washer and flat washer, and be
tightened enough to fully compress the lock washer.
DANGER: Sharp Blades!
Most injuries caused by knife blades occur when the cutter has been
turned off. Handle blades with care at all times.
• Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the cutting chamber is open and
when handling blades.
• Always lock out power to the cutter before opening the cutting chamber.
• Always wait until the cutter head has completely stopped before opening
the knife guard.
WARNING:
Do not operate the combination puller/cutter without washers and blade-
securing bolt securely in place.
