Knife guard on the knife holder

Each knife holder is equipped with a tightly mounted knife guard (8, 9). This makes it possi- ble 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. 4).

To cover the knife edge, push both cover strips of the knife guard to the center.

Knife holder E/E-TC

The knife guard on knife holder E/E-TC consists of a red foldaway handle (9). To cover the cutting edge, fold the knife guard handle (9) upwards as illustrated in Fig. 5.

The clamping levers on the knife holder E are not interchangeable.

The two clamping levers (10, 11) must remain in the position shown at all times, as otherwise isolated malfunctions of the knife holder can occur.

Clamping lever for the blade (10) at the right, clamping lever for the lateral dis- placement (11) at the left.
