Knife guard on the knife holder
Each knife holder is equipped with a tightly
mounted knife guard (8, 9). This makes it possible
to cover completely the cutting edge in every
knife or blade position.
Knife holder N/NZ
The knife guard (8) of the knife holder N/NZ
can be easily positioned via the two handles (7)
( Fig. 5 ).
To cover the knife edge, push both cover strips
of the knife guard to the center.
Knife holder E
The knife guard on knife holder E consists of a
red foldaway handle with ejector (9a). To cover
the cutting edge, fold the knife guard handle (9)
upwards as illustrated in Fig. 6 .

dle (6) outwards and swivel it into the center
of the handwheel (12) ( Fig. 4 ).
