6.2 Starting with either tool half, use a 7/64-inch hex

wrench to remove the screw closest to the first blade to be

replaced; loosen but do not remove the other screw (see

Figure 9).

6.3 Pivot the outer piece around the loosened screw so

that the blade is exposed (Figure 9). Carefully remove the

old blade and dispose of it properly.

Figure 9

6.4 Place the new blade into the tool with the ground side

of the new blade facing the piece of the tool with the

recessed area provided for the blade (see Figure 9).

Make sure that the radiused section of the blade is

fully seated against the radiused section on the tool.

6.6 Hold the pieces of the tool so that they fit flush along

the ends. Reinsert the screw removed in step 6.2. Tighten

both screws with the hex wrench.

6.7 Repeat steps 6.2 through 6.6 for the remainder of the

blades in the tool.

6.8 Place the two halves of the tool together. Re-thread

the thumb screw and turn it enough to secure the tool in

its open position.

6.9 Test the new blades on a scrap length of buffer tube to

verify that the tool is properly assembled. To prevent

damage to the blades, tool, or fibers, make sure that all of the

new blades are still properly seated.
