Black & Decker GS2400 manual Maintenance, Protecting the environment, Adjusting the cutter plate

Separate collection of used products and packaging allows materials to be recycled and used again. Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent environmental pollution and reduces the demand for raw materials.

Maintenance

Your Black & Decker appliance has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper appliance care and regular cleaning.

uKeep the unit clean and dry.

uDo not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

uRegularly clean the ventilation slots in your appliance using a soft brush or dry cloth.

Adjusting the cutter plate

The cutter plate needs to be adjusted if the appliance fails to shred material.

uTurn the adjustment knob (7) clockwise half a turn into the cutting position to cut through light material completely.

uTurn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise half a turn into the crushing position to shred heavy materials.

The materials may need to be put through the appliance twice to crush the material before cutting it completely.

uMake sure the cutting blade does not touch the anvil blade to avoid damage to the appliance.

When the shredded material starts to hang like a chain as shown in fig. D, adjust as follows:

uSwitch the appliance on.

uTurn very slowly and slightly the adjustment knob (7) clockwise until you hear a light grinding sound or a small amount of aluminium shavings will fall out of the discharge chute. The shredded material will now be separated as shown in fig. E.

Warning! Ensure the appliance is switched on and working in normal forward direction. Adjusting the cutter plate while the appliance is switched off can lead to serious damage of the appliance.
