NOTE:
Make sure that there never are any granulate or plastic rests on the floor dur-
ing 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!
NOTE:
Before starting to change the knives! Check that the cutter lock of the
granulator brakes the cutter, immediately after the hopper is opened!
NOTE:
When you release the cutter lock, the cutter auto-rotates, for instance
at removing or installing of rotating knives.
The cutter auto-rotates when the center of gravity becomes unstable when
removing or installing knives. So therefore be careful when changing knives,
so as not to injure fingers or hands.
OBSERVE! Never resort to help when removing or 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 rea-
sons, when screws on knives are removed or installed with
tightening torque, always secure the cutter to the cutter hous-
ing 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 personal 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.
Check the screen for wear when the knives are changed.
Change the screen when the holes begin to be pear shaped.
NOTE:
When the cutter house
door and the hopper have
been opened for service or
maintenance, recommends
that the cutter in the granula-
tor covers by using a carpet.
