CUTTER HEAD ADJUSTMENT
*Make sure machine is locked out before checking cutter clearance.
Ameri-Shred recommends thoroughly cleaning the cutter head and ensuring that
cutters do not move freely on the shafts.
Cutter tightness is factory set and should be checked if any of the following
conditions exist:
Shred capacity drops noticeably
Media is passing through cutters without being completely shredded
Cutter Head becomes extremely hot
Abnormal noise being generated from cutter head
Noticeable large gap between two cutters.
NOTICE: CUTTER HEAD ADJUSTMENT MUST BE MADE ON A COLD
CUTTER HEAD!
Lock out machine power to prevent injury
Remove Rear Guard
Clean and oil the cutter head ensuring that there are no obstructions
Check the two piece shaft collars and make sure they are clamped securely
to the shafts.
A circular plate with six 3/8-24 bolts are used to evenly tighten each stack.
Tighten each bolt a small amount at a time to ensure that even pressure is
being applied to the stack.
Once the stack is tight, replace all guards and covers.
