clearance over the drum chime.
2. Tilt the deheader handle away from you. Place the groove in the cutter base (C) on top of the

3. Turn the knob (A) clockwise slowly until the cutter base (C) is firmly in contact with the side of the
drum. The drum deheader is now firmly attached to the drum and the blade is now in contact with
the inside edge of the chime. Turn the knob (A) counter-clockwise slightly, so the blade does not
bind and wedge the drum chime between the blade and the cutter base. The deheader should
now be positioned similar to Figure 3.

4. To begin cutting, press down on the handle (F) until the blade punctures the drum head (Figure
