Tools You Might Need:
- Allen/hex keys (usually included with the cutter)
- Torque wrench (optional but recommended)
- Gloves (for safety)
- Replacement blade and/or blade head
General Blade Replacement Steps:
1. Power Down and Lock Out:
- Turn off the machine and disconnect power (or follow the lockout/tagout procedure) to prevent accidental movement.
2. Remove Blade Safety Cover (if applicable):
- Some models have a protective cap over the blade area. Remove it carefully.
3. Loosen Blade Clamp
- Use the proper Allen key to loosen the set screw or clamp holding the blade.
- Some systems use a quick-release lever instead.
4. Remove the Old Blade:
- Gently pull the blade straight out. If it resists, wiggle it slightly, but **don’t force** it to avoid damaging the holder.
5. Insert the New Blade:
- Insert the replacement blade in the same orientation as the old one.
- Ensure it is seated all the way in.
- If your blade is directional (e.g., angled), make sure it’s aligned correctly.
6. Tighten the Clamp:
- Tighten the blade clamp securely. If a torque spec is provided in your manual, use a torque wrench to avoid over- or under-tightening.
Replacing the Knife Head:
1.Disconnect Cables (if applicable):
- Unplug any electrical or air connections to the head.
2. Loosen Mounting Bolts:
- Use the correct tools to unscrew the bolts holding the head in place.
3. Remove the Head:
- Carefully remove the head. Be mindful of alignment pins or guides.
4.Install the New Head:
- Align the new head with the mount.
- Insert and tighten bolts to manufacturer torque specs.
5. Reconnect Cables and Hoses:
- Plug in any cables or hoses.
6. Calibrate (if required):
- Some machines require you to recalibrate the Z-height or run a test cut after changing the head.
Final Steps:
-Test Cut:
- Perform a test cut to ensure the blade is properly seated and functioning.
- Check for Vibration:
- If you feel abnormal vibration, stop immediately and check blade seating and alignment.
