MAINTENANCE
■
Use
only
original
replacement
parts,
attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor
performance, and may void your warranty.
■
Before cleaning, inspecting, or servicing
the product, turn it off, allow the cutters to
completely stop, and remove the battery
pack. After some time of shredding, the
cutting mechanism will become hot. Allow
it to cool down before cleaning, inspecting,
or adjusting.
■
The cutter blades are extremely sharp.
To avoid injury, exercise extreme caution
and care when cleaning or working near
the blades or inside the opened enclosure
when the collection box is removed. Always
wear heavy-duty protective gloves.
■
Be aware that the cutting means can still be
moved even when the power is off or if the
interlock switch is engaged.
■
To ensure the best performance of the
product, it must be kept clean.
■
Always clean the product immediately after
use. Wherever possible, use a stiff brush
inside the feed and discharge chutes and a
dry cloth on the outside of the product.
■
Do not allow material to become dry and
hard on any of the product surfaces, but
particularly on the blades. This directly
affects the shredding performance.
■
Make sure that the feed hopper and the
ejection chute are kept clean and clear of
all waste material.

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts.
Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any solvents to clean

ADJUSTING THE CRUSHING PLATE
■
If the product fails to shred material, the
crushing plate may need adjustment or the
blades may need to be sharpened.
■
Over time the crushing plate on the
product needs to be adjusted. This can be
completed by adjusting the crushing plate
so it will come into light contact with the
blades. Ensure that the product is turned on
and working in normal forward direction.
■
Adjusting the crushing plate while the motor
is turned off could lead to serious damage
to the product.
NOTE: Adjusting the crushing plate should only
be attempted when deemed totally necessary.
Adjusting the crushing plate too often or too far
could cause the product to stop working.
1.
While the product is running, turn the
adjusting knob clockwise.
2.
When you hear metal on metal contact
or you see fine aluminum shavings in the
bottom of the collection container, stop the
adjustment and allow the product to run
for 30 seconds. Then turn the adjustment
knob counterclockwise 0.25 – 0.5 turn
until it is no longer in contact with the
crushing plate, leaving a 1 mm gap.
