The blade guard of the model COBRA 40/45 (P, Fig.6) can be lifted at one of its ends: assembly and blade
replacement are then quick and easy.
To place or change the blade, you must proceed as follows:
x Loosen the screw (A, Fig.6) from the chassis using the 17 mm flat spanner supplied with the machine. There is not
need to remove it completely.
x Raise the blade guard to its maximum onto the screw (B, Fig.6)
x Block the rotation of the blade shaft with the 30 mm spanner (L, Fig.7) provided. The blade shaft has been designed
with two flat faces and thus allows placing the spanner without trouble.
x Loosen the screw of the blade shaft (C, Fig.7) using the 36 mm flat spanner supplied (P, Fig.7) and remove the outer
flange (E, Fig.7).
WARNING: the nut is thread on the left.
x Place the blade on the shaft and coincide the small hole with the dowel pin of the inner flange plate. (I, Fig.7).
x Replace the outer flange plate making certain that the dowel pin passes through the blade into the rear flange
plate. Tighten firmly using the two flat spanners provided.
x Close the blade guard on the opposite direction and fix it to the chassis with the screw.
Be sure that the rotation of the tool is always correct. It must coincide with the arrow drawn on the blade as
well as with the arrow painted on the blade guard.
Check that the blade and the flanges adjust perfectly before tightening the nut.
