Use of 'The RAZER' will give you complete control of the blade thoughout the blade change procedure and greatly reduce the possibility of injury. 'Rushing' through a blade change only increases the odds of suffering an injury. Our experience has been that most blade changes take longer than 20 minutes. 'The RAZER' was developed to reduce blade injuries. How much benefit will I realize by purchasing 'The RAZER'? We normally can perform a blade change in less than 20 minutes. Our new 'System' allows 'The RAZER' to perform at peak, and creates a safer work environment while changing a blade. Since the bolts thread directly into the blade, a slightly rusty bolt or damaged thread is no longer an issue, but care should still be exercised so that bolts are in reasonable good condition. This makes for a much more user friendly installation process. It also allows the mounting bolts to be inserted from the top of the conditioner rather than from underneath. This new feature totally eliminates bolt spin and the use of mounting nuts. The reason is that we have incorporated a new style of blade that has threaded mounting holes.

Should we have a 'Bolt Maintenance Program' in place to ensure full operational potential with 'The RAZER'?Ī 'Bolt Maintenance Program' (refer to ORFA's best practices for changing ice resurfacer blades) is not as critical with our new system as it was with our old system or the standard blade change procedure. Under the Occupational Health & Safety Act it is the duty of the employer to take every measure reasonable to prevent such injuries from occuring. 'The RAZER' with its patented technology is the only product that will not only reduce MSD's but will also reduce the likelyhood of cuts associated with handling the razor sharp ice resurfacer blades. Will 'The RAZER' reduce the occurrence of Musculoskeletal Disorders or MSD's? The reduction in blade change time is a bonus. However the purpose of 'The RAZER'S' design is to reduce blade injuries. Once you have the basic procedure memorized then you should see approximately a 30% reduction in blade change time. Will 'The RAZER' save time while performing a blade change? If there are large grooves, cracks or compound slopes then you may have to adjust the alignment rod depth to compensate for these variances.

If the floor is relatively level throughout, then, minor variances should have little effect on the performance of 'The RAZER'. Must I always perform a blade change in exactly the same spot on the ice resurfacer room floor? Soon you will be positioning blades in place without even looking. However, this too is easily mastered after a couple of tries and learning what to 'listen' for. The most difficult technique to master is getting the guide pins to go up through the receiver holes. Most people catch on and can perform a blade change unaided after one or two tries. If you follow our blade change procedure exactly you should not experience any problems, however, there are circumstances that we have no control over that could result in an injury. The hazards normally associated with a typical blade change have been eliminated. 'The RAZER' was designed to greatly reduce blade change related injuries. Will 'The RAZER' prevent all blade change related injuries? Our blade change 'System' can be 'Standardized' throughout all your facilities so that everyone performing a blade change is doing it in a safe efficient manner.

No special tools are required, but our new design allows for the use of power impact tools to install and remove mounting bolts. 'The RAZER' totally eliminates bolt spin and allows the mounting bolts to be installed from the top of the conditioner rather than from underneath. 'The RAZER' deposits the used (dull) blade directly into the transport sheath. 'The RAZER' installs the blade directly from the transport/storage sheath. 'The RAZER' gives the ice technician complete control of the blade throughout the entire blade change process. It works on all three major ice resurfacers (Zamboni, Olympia, IceCat) and on any size blade from 77' to 96'. 'The RAZER' is the only tool on the market anywhere that is specifically designed to change ice resurfacer blades.
