REVERSIBLE BLADE

The Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender chopper/grinder attachment is equipped with a reversible blade. This blade is sharp on one side and blunt on the other. The blade is attached to a plastic ring which slides over the blade assembly shaft, so it can be easily turned over to select the appropriate blade. A guide for proper blade selection follows in the section, Frequent Uses for Chopper/Grinder (page 15.)

Before you process any food, assemble the parts.

1.Place the prep bowl on a flat, dry, stable surface. It should be close to an electrical outlet of the same voltage as stated on the rating plate on the Smart Stick® Hand Blender.

2.The metal blade assembly shaft is attached to the bottom of the prep bowl. If not already in place, slide the fully assembled blade assembly over the top of the blade assembly shaft.
