!
To carry out any maintenance or adjustment work, turn off the engine and unplug appliance
from the power outlet.
Blades
The shredder has tempered blades, which extends their cutting life. Do periodic checks to verify that the
screws on the blades and other parts of the appliance are securely tightened.

Sharpening the blades

Sharpen the blades when you notice that they have gone blunt, and replace them when they can't be
sharpened anymore. In order to do that, remove the screws as indicated in the image below, [Fig. 21,
Pag. 11]. Sharpen only the indicated side of the blade, trying to stick to the original inclination, [Fig. 22,
Pag. 11]. Remove the material from each blade evenly to prevent damage to the balance of the axis
package, which will result in vibrations. Periodical re-tightening the screws is essential to ensure the
shredder's good performance.
!
Inspect the shredder before using it and check if there aren't any tools or objects inside the
chute or funnel.
•
Never operate the shredder when the feed chute is open.
•
Do not use a power cable with seams, as there is a risk of electric shocks.
•
If the shredder does not operate to full power, contact Tramontina's Technical Support to verify the
conditions of your power network, thus preventing the engine from burning out.
•
Always re-tighten the screws of the shredder, mainly the ones of the blades, after a harder impact.
•
Keep children and animals away from the appliance when it is operational.
•
Do not allow inexperienced people to operate the shredder without reading the instructions
manual first.

Do not use the shredder during periods when power cuts are likely to happen.
