Rotating the Blade

    Note: be sure not to over-tighten the screw holding the blade. Due to its small size it is possible to damage the screw and/or screwdriver in this manner.

    Replacing the Blade

      This entire process can also be done with the blade holder still mounted on the machine, similarly to rotating the blade.

      Note: ensure that no dirt, cane dust, or shavings find their way between the blade and the blade holder while rotating or replacing the blade. Be sure not to over-tighten the screw holding the blade. Due to its small size it is possible to damage the screw and/or screwdriver in this manner.

      Replacing and Adjusting the Blade or Blade Holder

      Loosening or removing the set screw will enable the blade (or blade holder for the Blade 360) to be replaced or adjusted. Adjusting the blade position works best when the set screw is snug against the blade or blade holder, as this light friction will ensure that the blade or blade holder is not moving too much at once.

      After replacing or adjusting the blade or blade holder, re-tighten the set screw firmly so that the blade is securely fastened.

      Once the blade or blade holder has been replaced or adjusted, and the set screw tightened, please ensure that the blade does not come into contact with the tongue. This could damage the blade and the tongue.

      Adjusting the blade or blade holder is best done with the use of a Blade Adjustment Indicator, as achieving the ideal shaving thickness of 0.03 mm is nearly impossible without the aid of a dial indicator.
