Cutter lock
The cutter lock brakes the cutter belt pulley automatically when the hopper opens.
The cutter lock can be released manually by a control lever, during the moment the
cutter need to be turned.
The control lever for is located in the space between the left side of the cutter
housing and the transmission cover.
NOTE:
Let the cutter lock brake the granulator cutter all the time the knife changing
takes.
Release the cutter lock only the short time and on the moment the cutter need to be
manually turned.
Screws and nuts with red marking
IMPORTANT! All screws and nuts which are marked with red color,
are screws and nuts which have fixed settings.
These settings are made during the manufacturing of the granulator, and should
under no circumstances be changed.
If the any screw or nut marked with red color change position, by using of tools
the granulator will loose important basic settings.
NOTE:
If any color marking is broken or have changed positions, all of Conair’s
responsibility and guarantee become invalid.
Removing of knives
Removing of rotating knives
NOTE:
The cutter lock effectively brakes the cutter belt pulley, but for safety rea-
sons, lock the cutter against the cutter housing using a strong block of wood to
avoid self-rotation when screws are loosened with torque.
The cutter, cutter shaft, cutter belt pulley and poss. flywheel is together a big and
very heavy unit. The energy of a cutter in motion is very big when it is in motion.
The risk and danger of injury to fingers and hands is very great.

cutter by hand when it is
moving, even if the moving is
slowly.
