5.4.5 Inserting the Blade

• Insert a size 3 Allen key sideways into the

blade holder through the hole (8) and rotate it

90° clockwise.

Clamp the blade as follows:

• Insert the provided size 3 Allen key from the

top through the opening (10) into the blade

holder (11) and open the blade holder (BH).

• Hold the entire razor blade (9) (not separated)

on the left and right with both hands and in-

sert it into the blade holder – Hook in the blade

over bottom pressure plate (see Fig. 21).

• Clamp down the BH by turning the size 3 Allen

key clockwise until hand-tight.

5.4.6 Adjusting the Clearance Angle

• Insert a size 3 Allen key sideways into the

blade holder through the hole (8) and rotate it

to the desired clearance angle mark.

12 – 15° 13 – 18° 14 – 21°

The blade holder can be used for ra-

zor blades, injector blades and sap-

phire blades (universal blade holder).

For 15°, the effective clearance angle

is "0".

The most commonly used setting is

18° (13).

The clamping screw (11) on the blade

holder must not be tightened too much!

Now return the blade holder to the cutting position.

• To do so, insert a size 3 Allen key sideways

into the blade holder through the hole (8) and

rotate approx. 90° counterclockwise.

For more information about adjusting the clear-

ance angle, see Fig. 22.
