Comprehensive Guide for Replacing the Lower Blade on the Uchida 2000 Paper Counter
1. Expertly Remove the Old Blade
Strategically Positioning the Knife Holder
Elevate the knife holder to its highest possible position. This will greatly facilitate ease of operation, achieved effortlessly through the control panel or manual pan carriage.
Carefully position rubber pads beneath the blade holder. This prevents any potential impact or damage during the lowering process.
Skillfully Loosen the Fixing Bolts
Gently loosen the fixing bolts located on both ends of the blade, typically 2-3 per side, using an Allen key for precision.
Leave 1-2 bolts slightly unscrewed to temporarily secure the blade in place.
Meticulously Removing the Blade
With care, lift the blade off the blade holder hook. Place it smoothly and securely in a designated safe area for inspection.
Inspect the old blade thoroughly for signs of wear. Consider replacement if the edge appears chipped or significantly dulled.
2. Seamlessly Install the New Blade
Thorough Blade Inspection
Ensure the new blade model is perfectly matched to the equipment by referring to the detailed specifications in the instruction manual for the Uchida 2000 model.
Clean the new blade meticulously to ensure a surface free of oil or debris, enhancing performance.
Artful Positioning and Securing
Precisely align the new blade with the holder hooks. Slowly lower it into position until it makes contact with the knife bedding strips.
Initially tighten the bolts, allowing for slight looseness to accommodate further, precise adjustment.
3. Perfectly Adjusting Parallelism and Depth of Cut
Manually pan-turn the tool holder upward and downward. This ensures even and consistent contact between the blade and the knife mat strip.
Utilize the special wrench for precise fine-tuning of the blade height, ensuring the depth of cut is optimal at 0.5-1mm for effective cutting.
Tighten all bolts evenly and securely to prevent any skewing of the blade and ensure flawless functionality.
