3. Always cut bends in counterclockwise rotation.
4. When you must break off the cut, first switch off the unit and wait until the
blades stall. Then take the blades out of the working piece. So you avoid
damaging the material.

Replacing the Blades

Replace damaged or used up blades with blades
constructed in the same way.
1. Screw off each rearward fastening screw by using
an adequate Allen key. Replace it by a new one.
Adjust the blades as described in "Set up the
Blades".
2. Tighten the blades so that their cutting edges are
parallel and the blades do not touch each other.

Replacing the Carbon Brushes

Enclosed in delivery you will find a pair of carbon brushes (3). If the machine
works powerless and sparking occurs at the brushes, it may be a sign that the
carbon brushes are used up and have to be replaced. Have the carbon brushes
replaced by a professional only or return the unit to the Westfalia customer
support department. Do not open the housing of the electric plate shear. Do not
try to repair it yourself. Replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
