Mounting the Cutters

1.Clean the cutter supporting surface and the hole on the cutter holder.

2.Insert sharp cutter or turn old cutter and push against the cutter holder surface.

4.Screw in the mounting screws and tighten lightly first.

5.Make sure the cutter fits planar in the seat.

6.Tighten the cutter mounting bolts using a torque wrench.

NOTE: The required torque for all cutter mounting bolts is 355 Nm (also see the table under “Replacing and checking the cutting cutter mountings”).

7.Check if the cutting gap is correct and if the cutting knives do not collide as the rotor turns.

8.Remove tools and other objects from the cutting chamber.

9.Put back screen and fix it.

10.Switch on the shredder for a short time without grinding material, and listen for noises. If there are unusual noises, determine the cause and eliminate it.

NOTE: The cutting knives, in particular the cutters, should only be sharpened or replaced in sets. There is a danger of balance error if a combination of rotor knives from different cutter sets is used.

Cutters are reversible and have four symmetrical cutting edges. This makes it possible to turn the knives and only to sharpen after every fourth cutter change.
