Because the knife blade will eventually wear from abrasion caused by ultrasonic
vibration when the horn face and the knife blade are in contact, the knife blade will
need to be replaced periodically.
To replace the knife blade, remove the knife blade guard. The knife is attached to a
self-leveling mount with a leveling pin. Loosen and remove the (2) knife screws and
remove the blade from the leveling pin. Replace the new knife blade. Thread the (2)
knife screws into the knife mount but do not tighten. The blade must be leveled each
time it is replaced. See knife blade leveling procedure.
When removing the knife blade, the blade may seem tightly mounted to the knife
mount pin. Pull blade off of mount (leveling) pin by pulling from the top of the
blade.
