Sharpening angle:
The sharpening angle for all shredding
blades is
30°
.
Instructions for sharpening the
shredding blades:
The following points must be observed
when re-sharpening the shredding blades:
●
Cool the blades when sharpening,
e.g. with water. The blade must not be
allowed to display blue colouring, as
this would reduce its cutting quality.
●
Sharpen the blade evenly to prevent
vibrations due to imbalance.
●
Check blades for damage before
installing: The blades must be replaced
if notches or cracks are noticeable or if
the blades have reached the wear
limits.
●
Re-sharpen the cutting edges to the
specified cutting angle.
●
Sharpen the blades against the cutting
edge.

Storage and winter break
Store the machine in a dry and locked
place that is generally free of dust. Make
sure that it is kept out of the reach of
children.
Always store the machine in good
operational condition.
Keep all nuts, pins and bolts tightly
fastened, replace danger signs and
warnings on the machine that have
become illegible, check the entire machine
for wear and damage. Replace all worn or
damaged parts.
Any machine faults must be completely
remedied prior to storage.
Note the following points when storing the
machine for long periods (winter break):
●
Clean all external parts of the machine
with care.
●
Thoroughly lubricate/grease all moving
parts.
We recommend that all shredding
blades are sharpened only by a
specialist dealer, as the function
(drawing in of shredding material,
durability of the cutting edges etc.)
of the garden shredder may
deteriorate if blades are ground
incorrectly (wrong sharpening
angle, imbalance due to unevenly
ground blades etc.). The blades must be reversed or
replaced before the specified wear
limits are reached. VIKING
recommends VIKING specialist
dealers.
The measurement procedure and
the value specified is the same for
all three wing blades.
Asymmetrical wear may occur at
the wing blades due to uneven use
of the cutting edges.

The measurement procedure and
the value specified is the same for
both shredding blades.
Asymmetrical wear may occur at
the shredding blades due to uneven
use of the cutting edges.
