8. Maintenance of the blade assembly

The aluminium plate on the cutter
unit is subject to normal wear,
and must be adjusted to avoid
damage to the blade.
This re-adjustment is only then to
be performed when the material
for cutting is not completely cut

Special information
on the cutting procedure
BRILL shredders are not general-
purpose grinders and hence are
only conditionally used for cut-
ting soft and succulent waste
(e.g. malaceous fruit, wet veg-
etable waste). These substances
should be directly composted
for they automatically become
very quickly compacted. Other-
wise, after the above wastes
have been cut, an air-tight,
odious mass leading to rotten-
ness would result which would
have a detrimental effect on
a good compost.
The BRILL shredder best cuts
long, hard, or dry stems of flow-
ers, shrubs, bushes, and tree
cuttings.

running (rotary direction Fig. 6,
item 1) the counter nut (Fig. 8,
item 2) is loosened with 13 mm
spanner supplied and adjusting
screw (Fig. 8, item 1) is turned
manually about 1/6 of a turn
A worn or damaged blade
assembly is to be replaced only
by an authorised expert.
Maintenance
General
Maintenance includes all work
which keep the shredder in a
flawless state. Accidents and
equipment failure are prevented
by regular checks (firm seat of
screwed connections, cracks,
Should the feed funnel or the
blade cylinder seize owing to
too much wet material, this can
be remedied in most cases by
introducing branches. Soft
material and branches should
therefore always be processed
alternately.
The collector box must be emp-
tied regularly to avoid blocking
the cutter unit. (Level can be
inspected through opening –
Fig. 4, item 2). Overfilling will
cause the cutter unit to become
congested.
To empty collector box, pull
forward until box has cleared
the chassis. To re-insert, locate
collector on mounting rails
and push under cutter (Fig. 4,
item 1).

faulty and worn parts. The cutter
unit should be lubricated regu-
larly, via the opening in the
casing (Fig. 8, item 3) using oil
like WD 40.
