IMPORTANT!
If the shredding blade touches the counter blade, it will cut it and small metal
chips may fall out of the discharge opening. This is not a fault, but it must only
be adjusted as much as necessary since otherwise the counter blade will suffer
premature wear. Therefore proceed with caution when making this adjustment.
When the counter blade cannot be adjusted any more, it has reached its wear
limits and must be replaced.
IMPORTANT!
Wear work gloves!
Remove the cover from the cutting unit (Fig. 15/Item A) by removing the 4 Allen
screws (Fig. 15/Item B). The counter blade (Fig. 16/Item B) can now be taken
out. Insert a new counter blade (you must turn the adjustment device counter-
clockwise until the new counter blade fits in the mount). Fit the cover with the
4 Allen screws. Then adjust the counter blade correctly as described on page 18.
Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by an
electrician or similarly trained person to avoid danger.
Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
