    To properly align the blades, rotate the clickers away from the “+” until you feel a resistance. This is maximum clearance. Make sure both blades are clean then turn the T6 on (refer to the maintenance section for cleaning instructions). It then takes about two full turns toward the “+” to start making blade contact. Make sure to rotate both clickers simultaneously with each hand.

    MAINTENANCE The T6 is a precision machine. It is essential that it is operated and cared for with this in mind. It has been adjusted and tested by the manufacturer for optimal performance. However, at initial startup and at the begin- ning of each use, it is important to inspect the machine for any damage, plant material buildup and check to ensure the blades spin freely before operating.

    Cleaning A thorough cleaning of the T6 and T6-LC should be performed after each use. Any resin buildup on the machine attracts more resin, compounding the problem. Buildup can cause decreased performance, overheat- ing and could trip your circuit breaker.
