MAINTENANCE

Honing the Blade
Push the handle down until the blade is 1/8" (3mm)
above the tabletop. Place the provided Honing Stone
(M) against the flat side of the blade. Slide the honing
stone from one end of the blade to the other 3-4
times. This will remove any burrs from your blade and
should be done every 100 cuts. Use caution when
honing the blade. The blade is sharp and can easily
cause injury. Cut-resistant gloves are recommended
when honing the blade.
Replacing the Blade
Use cut-resistant gloves when replacing the blade.
Cover the cutting edge with a blade guard or
other suitable covering. Place the cutter upside down
on a workbench with the jaws in the open position,
creating a gap to allow blade removal. To remove the
blade use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and loosen the
7 retaining screws one full turn counterclockwise.
When the last screw is loosened, the blade will slip
out. Remove the screws if the blade does not slip
out easily. Cover the cutting edge of the new blade
with a blade guard or other suitable covering. Slide
the new blade into position with the beveled edge
facing the screws. Center the blade and make sure the
blade is fully inserted. Hand-tighten the center screw.
Hand-tighten the remaining screws to complete the
installation.
Lubrication
After every 100 cuts, it is recommended that the
cutter be lubricated. Use a light oil and grease (wheel
bearing grease) and apply according to the image
below. Lubricating the cutter will extend the life of the
cutter and result in easier cutting.
