meriafel Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Make sure the arm, when lifted, is smooth in operation with no friction which can substantially lessen the pressure the spring applies in pressing the blade onto the screen. Apply any lubricant very sparingly. Lifting the arms often will free them off. They can become quite stiff with corrosion as they move only by a few degrees. Also make sure the blades are at 90 degrees to the screen surface. They end of the arm does seem to bend after a long period of use and needs to be bent back to sit 'flat' on the screen surface. Take care the arm doesn't slip from your grasp and bang the screen as it can break it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
