  • This replacement of the driving blade is complex, since with different tools, the middle pin must be removed to attach the driving blade. If the driving blade is not fastened with a central pin, tools are required to open the spindle body to remove the driving blade. The subsequent installation of the new driving blade with pin is possible only with tools and a relatively high amount of time, so that valuable operating time of the tool is lost.

In a second step II, the entrainment blade 20 or the integral structure with entrainment blade 20th and spring 24 is pulled out of the axial recess 30.
  • a new entrainment blade 20 or a new integral structure with entrainment blade 20 and spring 24 is manually inserted into the axial recess 30 and fastened or latched there in step IV.
  • This replacement process for the driving blade 20 requires no tools and can be realized in a small amount of time.
  • tools of the prior art require a punch and a hammer to remove a blade holding pin
  • the catching blade of the present invention can be removed by the worker's finger or fingernail or a ballpoint pen. Neither tools nor complex and time-consuming steps are necessary.
