ADJUSTMENTS

IMPORTANT:
It is important to wait until all rotating parts have stopped before removing the guards.
This particularly applies to the delivery chute above the blade cylinder.
If the cutting parts in the blade cylinder must be adjusted or replaced, it is important
to block the blade cylinder using a wooden wedge, as the sharp blades can easily
cause damage to multiple fingers because it is difficult to stop the rotor if started
accidentally by the operator.
Before starting work, you should check that the feed rollers and blade cylinder can
move freely. Also check that the blades are intact and without cracks. Damaged
blades must be replaced to prevent them from blocking or damaging the machine
and to avoid metal parts being thrown out from the delivery chute.
The first time you use the machine, the blade bolts may "bed in" and lead to
insufficient pretensioning of the blades. For this reason, you must check and tighten
the blade bolts after the first hour of use.
Check periodically whether the blades and blade bolts are worn according to the
rules in the user manual.
