• To remove the blade, fold the clamping lever
(10) downwards counterclockwise.
The ejector (9a) ensures safe blade changing.
Once the blade has been removed from the blade
holder, it is disposed of into the dispenser con-
tainer (underside, see image).
• Another option for removing the blade is to use
the brush with magnet.
To do so, fold the clamping lever (10) down-
wards counterclockwise. Likewise, fold the
knife guard (9) downward. Guide the brush
with magnet to the blade and lift it upwards
and out.
