Micro Switch Replacement
Remove cover plate and cover insulation. Remove (2) two
switch screws and lift out microswitch being careful not to
lose switch spacers. Remove leads and re-solder the leads
of the new switch. Replace parts in reverse order.
CAUTION
Excessive soldering heat will damage switch.
Fuse Replacement
With cover plate and cover insulation removed, fuse is vis-
ible. Lift burned out fuse out of fuse holder and replace with
identical fuse. Replace cover plate and insulation.
CAUTION
Replace only with identically rated fuse. Use of different
fuse may cause electrical hazard or damage electronic parts.
Lubrication of Knife Gear
Knife gear “Z” should be removed and replaced if necessary
or repacked with grease every three months.
Remove knife as described above, to expose bearing retainer
plate 79C12-286. Insert a #10-32 x 1 1/2" screw into center
of knife flange “X” so that gear, bearing and knife flange can
be removed as one unit. Remove three (3) screws “W” and lift
out gear assembly. Inspect and replace gear “Z” if necessary
or repack gear teeth ONLY with grease. Reassemble in
reverse order making sure that bearing “Y” is seated squarely
before securing knife flange “X” and retainer plate.
IMPORTANT: Use of too much grease when repacking
knife gear “Z” may result in undue strain on
knife motor.

provide many hours of trouble free operation. The
comprehensive exploded part illustrations have been carefully
prepared to enable you to easily order replacement parts, as
required. Replacement parts for this machine may be ordered
through your nearest Eastman representative or directly from
the Eastman factory.
Sharpener Replacement
To replace sharpener stone, first remove knife blade (see
knife replacement). Insert screwdriver into slotted head of
sharpener button "P" and hold hex bushing “Q” in place. Turn
counter clockwise and remove sharpener button and spring
“S”. Set these parts aside for later reassembly. Remove
screw “T” to separate hex bushing, spring washer “U” and
emery wheel “V”. Replace emery wheel and reassemble in
reverse order. Check that screw “P” is tightened securely.
Motor Brush Replacement
Remove (4) four screws, cover plate and cover insulation,
being careful not to damage insulation material. Loosen
and disengage (2) two screws holding down micro switch
and lift out switch being careful to retain the two switch spac-
ers. Remove (2) two screws and carefully lift out the com-
bined assembly of the motor brush card circuit board. Move-
ment of the parts will be restricted by wires but have ad-
equate length to work without disconnecting. Loosen (2)
two brush screws and remove the motor brush pigtails from
under the fasteners. Turn brush card over and slide brushes
out of guides.
When inserting new brushes, bevel corner at wire pigtail
must face slot in brush holder. Pigtail runs through slot to
screw fastener. Wrap pigtails around screw fasteners and
tighten. Turn assembly back to its original position. With
your fingers, separate brushes enough to fit around commu-
tator bars and begin working the assembly inside cavity in-
sulation. Continue working assembly down until it is flat to
inside of standard and brushes snap into position around
commutator. Replace (2) two screws holding down circuit
board and motor brush card. Replace switch spacers and
switch and secure with (2) two screws. Replace cover insu-
lation and cover and fasten with (4) four screws.
