tening screw. The T-handle pin-key has to completely
reach into the inner hexagon socket in order to un-
screw the screw. The screws are tightly screwed in.
In mounting the blade, lubricate the flat head screws
and tighten well.
Blade removal
The blade, as well as the blade surface area of the
cutting disc, must be cleaned of hardened debris
material. Upon reinstallation, the blade disc must be
mounted exactly as before.
Sharpening the blade
In resharpening the blade, pay close attention to
maintaining an even blade-diameter so as to avoid an
