MAINTENANCE:
1. This tool must be thoroughly washed after each use. Flush the compound from the tool with water, either with
the pump or with a water hose and cleaning adapter.
2. External material can be sprayed off with a hose or removed with a cleaning brush.
3. After cleaning, lightly lubricate all moving parts with Ames® Bazooka® Oil.
BOX BLADE REPLACEMENT:
1. To remove the used blade, place the tip of a screwdriver against one end of the blade and tap the end of the
screwdriver with the palm of your hand.
2. If this does not pop the end of the blade out, force it out by tightening the adjuster screw on that end.
3. Back the screw out to where it was and tap the end of the blade again.
4. Use one end of the used blade to help clean any mud residue left in the blade holder slot.
5. Slightly bend the end of the new blade approximately 2” from each end. This will help to secure the blade in the
holder during use.
6. Starting at one end, press the blade fully into the blade holder slot. Work your way to the other end of the blade
until it’s fully installed.
7. Turn the adjuster screws so that the end of each blade is just slightly above the surface of the skid.
