5.4 Replacing the pressure plate
The blade holder SE can be converted
from use of narrow blades to use of
wide blades, and vice versa.
To do this, both the pressure plate (48)
and the matching insertion aid (57)
have to be replaced.
To replace them, proceed as follows:
• Push the knife guard (14) towards
the right and push the lever (46)
upwards to release the clamp of
the pressure plate (48).
• Now carefully pull the insertion
aid (57) out to the left ( Fig. 30 ). The
pressure plate (48) can now be
taken off ( Fig. 31 ).
• To mount another pressure plate,
please proceed in the reverse
sequence. Only use the pressure
plate together with the matching
insertion aid.
