If the tension between the blades is too low then hairs accumulate between them,
which results in a considerably bad cut. In this case, remove the blades, clean them and
reattach them as described above. Do not forget to oil them.
During clipping: Since the tension between the blades loosens during clipping, turn
the screw approx. ¼ turn as soon as the clipping result deteriorates. If the result does
not improve after retightening, your blades must be sharpened.
Make sure that tension is not too high.
4b. Fitting blades
A blade set consists of an upper and a larger, lower blade, the sharpened sides of which
should always lie on top of each other, as shown in the picture.
To remove the blades, first release the tension by turning the tensioning nut. If the bla-
des are loose, place the machine on a hard, stable surface with the fixing screws of the
lower blade pointing upwards and loosen the screws. You can now remove the blades.
Before you insert the new blades, check that they are clean and that the grinding surfa-
ces are particularly free of all dirt.
Now insert the upper blade into the guide points of the oscillating head and then drip
oil onto the grinding surfaces. Slide the lower blade between the loosened screws.
Make sure that the grinding surface of the lower blade protrudes approx. 1.5 to 2 mm
beyond the edge of the upper blade. You can now tighten the fixing screws.
