INSTALLING CUTTER BLADES
NOTE: For Model 6605, change the side knives after they show a width wear pattern of fifty percent (50%).Swap the knives left to right and use them until the patterns meet. When the patterns meet, invert the left and right side knives and use them until they show a width wear pattern of fifty percent (50%). They can then be swapped from left to right until you use all four (4) sides of the blades. Never exceed 10,000 feet of cutting on a set of side knives. The tool will continue to cut after these landmarks are reached, but the power unit will become overloaded.

Start the center blade (with spacer bushing) into the rear of the shear housing, and tap it forward until the hole in the spacer bushing aligns with the front hole in the shear housing. Insert a cap screw and thread it into the housing one or two turns. DO NOT TIGHTEN. Coat the center blade yoke area with lubricant.
3.Insert the remaining cap screw into the rear hole in the shear housing and thread it into housing one or two turns. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
