Blade flipping

Try using an excessive amount of setting powder on the drum & blade. I believe there is a tech bulletin on this issue.

[OMD-227]

Its really important that you only use Stearic Acid (UKOG-0312FCZZ) on the new MX series drum surface.
If you use Kynar powder (UKOG-0123FCZZ) or Titanium Hydroxide (UKOG-0322FCZZ), the drum driving torque may be up to twice as high as Stearic Acid, therefore causing blade flip.

See the attached list of powders for Sharp machines. Incorrect use can cause problems.
