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.
2a. Putting together the blade assembly:
Connect the blade ring (F) to the plastic blade sheath (G). Line up the blade ring opening with the plastic sheath. Let the blade ring slide to the bottom of the plastic sheath. HOLD THE BLADE RING BY THE CENTRAL HUB HOLDING RIBS (grips)(K) ONLY. DO NOT TOUCH THE

Note these important features of the blade ring. The blade ring can be placed over the plastic blade sheath in two different ways:
If you hold it this way (A), you will see the word “Sharp” on the blade. Assemble the blade this side up to use the sharp edge. (see the section on processing food for information about when to use the sharp edge.)
