How to Change Short Tape Blades:
1) Pull old blade out past end until about 2” of bluish
metal spring is exposed. Put a nail in round hole( A) in
spring to hold it.
2) Note how old blade is attached, then remove it.
3) New blade is reverse wound, ready to attach to spring. With
blade graduations up, turn spring sideways and insert from
bottom into slot (B) in new blade. Twist spring and pull
back until notches (C) lock at rear of slot (B).
4) Remove nail and return blade to case.
