Does Debris get between the Bedknife and Backing?
In certain conditions it is possible. During our field testing we found that if the bedknife moves due to some impact, the opening created, if there were a large volume of debris in this area, would occasionally let debris in. This might occur following “topdressing” or when we deliberately introduced objects to the cutting process. Should this happen, simply remove the bedknife, clean the bedknife and backing, and reinstall the bedknife. Top How long will the magnets retain their hold? MagKnife is held in place by what are known as “permanent” magnets. By nature, the holding power of these magnets is indefinite. Unlike a piece of metal which is “magnetized”, “permanent” magnets will hold with the same amount of force as long as they are in existence. The only documented cases of a permanent magnet loosing magnetic strength were: 1. Heating the magnet in excess of 210 F (80 C). 2. Breaking or fragmenting the magnet. We recommend testing the magnetic strength annually and inspecting the
