MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect from power supply and allow the machine to cool before
making any inspections, adjustments, etc.
• Always allow the machine to cool before storing.
• When servicing the blades be aware that, even though the power
source will not start due to the interlock feature of the reamer, the
blades can still be moved manually.
• Never attempt to override the interlock feature of the reamer
cover knob.
• Check the power cable and any extension cables regularly for
damage or signs of ageing. Do not use the appliance if any cables
are damaged.

• Always clean the machine after use. Remove deposited matter from the
machine using a brush.
• Clean the plastic body and plastic parts using soap and a moist cloth.
Do not use aggressive agents or solvents for cleaning.
• Never clean the shredder with a jet of water or by rinsing. Make sure
that no water is allowed to enter into the shredder.
• Use only the recommended accessories/attachments for
this shredder.
• If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer's agent, or a power tool repair centre
in order to avoid a safety hazard.
REPLACING THE BLADES
• Ensure that the shredder is switched off and disconnected from the
mains supply.
• Remove the hopper assembly by unscrewing the reamer knob (10).
• The blades have two cutting edges. When the blades become worn
they can be reversed to use the second cutting edge.
• Always wear gloves when handling the blades.
• Unscrew the two inner hexagonal headed screws and note the position
of the cutting angle of the blade.
• Remove the blade and rotate it through 180° and fit the blade to the
blade disc ensuring that the ground cutting edge is facing downwards.
• Repeat this for the other blade.
8
When both cutting edges of the blade have become worn they must be
replaced as a pair.
The blades can be re-sharpened, but this must be done by an experienced
person using an oil stone. However, the weight of each blade is critical
to maintain the balance of the cutting disc. Any imbalance could cause
damage to the machine and possible injury to the operator.
