are damaged.
• Always clean the machine after use. Remove deposited matter from the
machine using a brush.

Do not use aggressive agents or solvents for cleaning.
• Never clean the shredder with a jet of water or by rinsing. Make sure
that no water is allowed to enter into the shredder.
• Use
only the recommended accessories/attachments for
this shredder.
• If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer's agent, or a power tool repair centre
in order to avoid a safety hazard.
rEplAcInG thE blADES
• Ensure that the shredder is switched off and disconnected from the
mains supply.
• Remove the hopper assembly by unscrewing the reamer knob (10).
• The blades have two cutting edges. When the blades become worn
they can be reversed to use the second cutting edge.
• Always wear gloves when handling the blades.
• Unscrew the two inner hexagonal headed screws and note the position
of the cutting angle of the blade.
• Remove the blade and rotate it through 180° and fit the blade to the
blade disc ensuring that the ground cutting edge is facing downwards.
• Repeat this for the other blade.
8
When both cutting edges of the blade have become worn they must be
replaced as a pair.
The blades can be re-sharpened, but this must be done by an experienced
person using an oil stone. However, the weight of each blade is critical
to maintain the balance of the cutting disc. Any imbalance could cause
damage to the machine and possible injury to the operator.
