Tools required:
-
Appropriate Allen keys and/or Phillips screwdrivers are needed to replace the blade.
Check the compatibility of the used blade

Use of used blades is not recommended.
However, in the case of necessity, check that the blade is intact and shows no obvious
signs of wear.
Check the compatibility of the NEW blade
NOTES
The characteristics of the blade must be compatible with the technical specifi cations
indicated in the relative appendix.
a) Slacken the handle (35) and slide the blade guide (31) up to the travel stop in the direction
shown in the fi gure;
b) Remove the cover (34) by unscrewing the relative fi xing screws;
DANGER - WARNING
WHEN THE SAFETY GUARD IS OPENED, THE BLADE MAY JUMP OUT.
c) Turn the handwheel (2) anticlockwise to facilitate removal of the blade;
d) First extract the blade from the pulleys and then from the blade guide bearings.
e) Remove any work process debris using a small brush.
f) Install the new blade.
g) Make sure, by means of a visual inspection, that the blade is installed with the teeth pointing
in the direction indicted by the arrow on the machine;

i) Turn the handwheel (2) anticlockwise (see heading 3.1);
j) Run the blade in as described below.
DANGER - WARNING
TO GET OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR BLADE, CARRY OUT THE
RUNNING-IN PROCEDURE.
k) Carry out three cuts, putting only a light pressure on the workpiece.
NOTES
Light pressure: as an example consider an operation to cut a full steel bar (e.g. C40, D.
50 mm). This should be carried out in about 4 minutes. Once the blade has been run in,
the same kind of workpiece can easily be cut out in about 2 minutes.
