The blade cover tie rod mod. 300/E is the threaded pin that secures and holds the blade cover (blade guard) in position on the meat slicer. Screwing onto the hub, it locks the blade cover, ensuring the guard stays firmly in place during use: it is therefore a safety-related component as well as a functional part of the machine.

The key characteristic of this item is the pin length of 153 mm, the detail that identifies it and distinguishes it from the other blade cover tie rod versions (for example the type for mod. 22/25/275 with a 144.5 mm pin, which is not interchangeable). This is the dedicated spare part for the 300/E model.

When to replace it: the tie rod should be changed when the thread is stripped or damaged, when the pin is bent or crooked, or when the blade cover no longer tightens properly and stays loose. A worn tie rod can prevent the blade guard from locking correctly, with obvious risks for the operator.

Practical tip: when ordering, always check that the pin length is 153 mm and compare it with the part being replaced, since tie rods of different lengths are not compatible with each other.
