Installing of rotating knives
NOTE:
Make sure that there never are any granulate or plastic residue on the floor
during changing of knives.
WARNING! Granulate and plastic residue on the floor can cause risk of
slipping!
If anyone slips or falls during changing of knives, or handling of knives, it
can cause serious personal injury.
NOTE:
The granulator is equipped with a cutter lock, but when the cutter
lock is released the cutter auto-rotates, at installing of rotating knives.
The cutter auto-rotates when the center of gravity becomes unsta-
ble when installing knives.
So therefore be careful when changing knives, so as not to injure
fingers or hands.
OBSERVE! Never resort to help when installing rotating knives.
Always carry out knife changing alone, so as to minimize the risk of
injury to fingers or hands.
The cutter lock brakes the cutter belt pulley, but for safety reasons, when
screws on knives are installed with tightening torque, always secure the
cutter to the cutter housing using a strong block of wood, to avoid that the
brake can glide.
Be careful when handling the knives, they are sharp and can cause per-
sonal injury.
Always use protective gloves when changing knives!
Each time the set of knives is changed, the screws which hold
the knives must be replaced by new ones.
Every second time re-sharpened knives are installed, the screws
which hold the knives must be replaced by new ones.
When installing rotating knives, always install all the rotating knives on the
cutter, so that the cutter will be balanced.
NOTE:
The knife positions must be properly cleaned and free from grease!
