Replacing the Top Knife Blade

KNIFE BLADE
Overview:
Upper blade wear is caused by the abrasion from the ultrasonic vibration when
the horn face and the edge of the blade are in contact. There are four major
adjustments that control the life of the upper blade. The first is a properly tuned
power supply. Second is the blade parallel the horn face. Third is the amount of
pressure between the blade and the horn (factory setting .750”). Fourth is the
dwell time between the blade edge and the horn face after the cut has been made
(factory setting .015”). The following is a guide to properly replace the upper
knife blade.
Note:
When removing the knife blade, the blade may seem tightly mounted to the knife
mount pin. Pull blade off of mount pin by pulling from the top of the blade.
