Always remove the blade BEFORE in- stalling or removing the blade holder!

For quality and service reasons, the blade holder (7) is available as a com- plete unit only.

Before the blade holder can be replaced, it must be brought into a 45° inclined position.

To do so, insert the size 3 Allen key sideways into the blade holder through the hole (8) and rotate it 45° clockwise.

Turning the screw (9) counterclockwise releases the blade holder, allowing it to be replaced.

The installation is carried out in reverse order.

Cleaning the blade holder

To clean the blade holder after removal, spray it with alcohol. It can then be wiped down with a piece of cellulose and placed on a cellulose tow- el to dry completely.
