5.4.4 Installing and removing the blade holder
• Before the blade holder can be replaced, it
must be brought into a 45° inclined position.
To do so, insert the size 3 Allen key sideways
into the blade holder through the hole (8) and
rotate it 45° clockwise.
Turning the screw (9) counterclockwise
releases the blade holder, allowing it to be
replaced.
• The installation is carried out in reverse order.
Cleaning the blade holder
To clean the blade holder after removal, spray
it with alcohol. It can then be wiped down with
a piece of cellulose and placed on a cellulose
towel to dry completely.
