  • Page 11: Power Pack

    The two connectors are different so it is not possible to plug in the wrong cable. The AC supply cable requires a NEMA 5-20R outlet. Do not use the Hybrid™ Trimmer with an extension cord as the voltage drop across the extension cord will result in excessive current drawn by the Hybrid™, potentially tripping breakers and overheating the motors.

While there is no speed control for the vacuum motor, it is possible to adjust the vacuum level by manipulating the vacuum adjustment lever.
  • Page 14 TRIMMER TILT The product dwell time in the tumbler is controlled by the angle of the trimmer. To prevent over-trimming and to ensure a constant flow of material through the tumbler, the trimmer should be raised on the infeed side. The closer the trimmer is to horizontal, the longer the dwell time in the tumbler.
