Checking the condition of the cutters
The cutters become blunt after a certain number of operation hours. They need to be
checked regularly. Using blunt knives has several consequences including decreased
grinding capacity, increased current consumption of the drive motor, inexact cuts, and
overheating of the material.
Sharp knives are dangerous even while the rotor is at standstill.
Serious injury can result—especially to the hands and fingers—wear
protective gloves!
Dismounting the cutters
Follow the steps below to dismount the cutters. (See image below.)
1. Switch OFF the shredder at the main switch.
