OPERATION
MOUNTING A NEW SKATE BLADE
MARK WHERE THE NEW SKATE BLADE SHOULD BE
The plastic part that holds the old skate blade has lines
on
the short sides from the casting. Mark
on
the skate shoe
where these lines are located. This will aid you when mounting the new skate blade.
CHECKING THAT THE SKATE BLADE
IS
STRAIGHT
When replacing a blade you should check that the blade is straight.
You
should preferrably attach e.
g.
one rivet
in
a
left forward place (1) and another
in
a right backward place (2) and then check the straightness by putting e.g. a steel
ruler
in
contact with the blade. If necessary, correct by hitting suitably hard
on
the steel
of
the blade from the side using
a plastic club.
When changing a skate blade, follow our recommended order
of
mounting rivets:
01-10 =Tube rivets 12
11-12 =Copper rivets
13-14 =Tube rivets or Copper rivets
11
2 6 14 8 4 10
(Most
ofthe
strain is on points 11-14. 11-12 should always be copperrivets.
If
the skateris powet1ul, then use copperrivets on 13-14 as well.)
MOUNTING A TUBE RIVET
(If the skate blade
is
to be exchanged, first test if the old holes will fit. If not, drill new holes fitting the blade.)
Screw tool
no.
2 into the fastening hole
in
the hook 12 (use the nut that
is
included).
Loosen the Alien screw
in
the tool holder
11
and fasten tool no.
6.
Put
in
the tube rivet with its head outside the skate. The rivet should then protrude about 5
mm
on
the inside.
Position the skate above the hook 12
so
that you can feel the tip
of
tool
no.
2 against the hole
of
the rivet.
Lower the tool holder
11
so that tool
no.
6 reaches the rivet head.
(Move the skate sideways and up and down. The rivet should
be
held
in
place by the tools.)
Press firmly and the riveting
is
done.
MOUNTING A COPPER RIVET
Loosen the Alien screw
in
the tool holder
11
and fasten tool no. 5 (06). Put tool
no.
3 onto the hook
12.
Put
in
the copper rivet with its head inside the shoe. Position the skate
on
the hook with the rivet
head against tool
no.
3.
Place the copper washer onto the copper rivet and press
it
all the way
down to the plastic with tool
no.
5.
Then shorten the rivet with cutting nippers (there should
be
about 2
mm
extending from the washer). Again put the skate back into the machine and place
the rod tool
no.
8 through the holes
in
tool holder
11
and tool no.
5.
Press down the washer
firmly and use a hammer to hit the rod so that the rivet will get thicker than the hole
in
the washer.
