2.Using provided Wrench (49) turn the Knife Holder Bolts (8d) in the direction shown in the picture to the above right to loosen the Knife Holder (8b) from the Drum. The Bolts thread into the Knife Holder, thus releasing pressure on the drum and allowing the knife holder to be removed.

3.After all Bolts have been threaded into the Knife Holder completely, remove the Knife Holder. Be careful to not move either of the two set screws on the Knife Holder, they keep the knife in alignment.

4.Clean the exposed slot in the Drum.

5.Slide the old Knife (8c) carefully out of the Knife holder.

CAUTION! The Knife has two sharp edges. Heavy-duty leather work gloves are required when handling the Knife.
