Carefully remove the old blade from the blade

change tools. Set the blade on a flat surface and

unscrew the handles. Cap the old blade with a

protective pad to prevent injury.

Place the new blade with the beveled cutting edge

facing up, and the screw holes at the top, as shown

here. Remove the protective pad from the new

blade.

Attach the blade change tools to the new blade.

Do not screw the blade tools all the way in, there

needs to be enough of a gap approx. 1/4” so the

blade can be slid back into position.Then reverse

the procedure to install the new blade.

After installing the new blade, it will need to be

adjusted for proper positioning and cutting depth.

Carefully move the blade to the cutting stick by low-

ering the blade lever arm. NOTE: Keep hands and

objects out of the path of the blade.

Turn the blade adjustment screw (X) to the right

(-) until you have a visible ray of light between the

blade and the cutting stick.

12.

Adjust the blade to touch the cutting stick evenly by

using the two screws at the top (Y).

13.

Raise the blade lever arm to the top position and

lock it. Then make a trial cut with a single sheet of

paper. If the paper is not cut through completely, the

blade must be adjusted using the screws (X)

and/or (Y).

NOTE: The two (Y) screws are for horizontal

adjustment and the (X) screw is for minor up-down

adjustment.

Reassemble the blade housing cover, the front

safety cover, and reattach the the blade arm lever.
