Improved door design makes blade changes easier. When the door is opened at a 90 degree angle, the blade can be accessed. The blade is accessible by opening the magnetic guard on the blade’s front. Once the new bladeis on, it is easy to track using the built-in window. The fine-tuning on the blade tension isa snap thanks to the Acme thread.
