Warning:
Mind your hands, and ensure that they do not become wedged bet-
ween the fan and the turbine.
• Each blade has two cutting edges (reversible blade). As such, you must keep in mind that the
other side of the blade could also be extremely sharp as you sharpen the other side.
• Remove all wood dust and chip residue from the shredding chamber and from the Turbo. This
will remove the risk of starting a fire from their contact with smouldering sparks created by
sharpening.
For your information:
The blades can be sharpened without having to remove
them. You can use a small angle grinder fitted with a grinding disc suitable for
metal.
Each blade has two sides:
• The front of a blade has two bevelled cutting edges.
(F)
• The teeth profile of the cutting area is clearly visible on the backside of a blade.
(B)
As described in Section “11.5.1. Routine inspection of the blades”, page
61, a sharp cutting edge and a correct cutting angle are essential for
efficient shredding. These two blade properties are easily obtained by
sharpening the blades correctly.
• When blades become blunt, their sharp cutting edges appear worn and
take on a more noticeable ribbed appearance.
(1)
• By grinding a little metal from the cutting edge, you can again obtain a
sharp cutting edge from this wide ribbed appearance.
(2)
• To do so, move the grinding disc along the ribbed edge.
•
Note:
Regular sharpening will reduce the amount of metal you need to
remove in order to obtain a sharp cutting edge again. As a result, you
will spend very little time on this operation to obtain perfectly sharp
cutting edges. (ELIET recommends grinding after every 10 working
hours.)
