Burr Calibration
Note
All directional indications assume
you are looking down on the
machine.
A 2 mm Allen head calibration
screw is located in the round hole
behind the discharge chute (see
photo). This calibration screw
allows the user to easily fine tune

finer or coarser direction while the
grinder is running. To make the
adjustment, empty all beans from
the grinder. Turn the grinder on
and lower the Macro and Micro
levers all the way to the bottom.
Let the grinder run long enough

TARE the grinder. Now press any
one of the preset buttons then
press START. The grinder will run
until you press the STOP button
or 3 minutes elapses. For a finer
grind, while the grinder is running,
move the Macro arm up to the top
(setting 1). You should not hear
any change in motor speed. Now
slowly move the Micro arm up to
the top (setting A). If the motor
hasn’t started to slow, use the tool
