Inserting low‑profile blades (continued)
Two magnets are attached to the rear side of the
insert. These point away from the operator after
the insert has been inserted (towards the rear
pressure plate).
Then insert the blade as described (for high-
profile blade).
Removing the blades
1. Ensure that the handwheel is securely locked.
2. Fold the anti-roll system (4) to the left – while
doing so, hold the lever (11) (not the adjusting
screw of the anti-roll system) so that the height
of the anti-roll system remains unchanged.
3. Open the clamping lever (10) by turning it
counterclockwise (Fig. 7).
4. Push the blade ejector lever (13) so that it
contacts the left side of the blade and pushes
it to the right.
5. Use the magnet on the end of the Leica brush
(12) to attach to the exposed right side of the
blade.
6. Carefully lift out the blade (9).
