REPLACING CUTTING BLADES

(Fig. 7)
The shredder comes with two cutting blades preinstalled
that can be reversed or replaced to keep the cutting edges
sharp. The two blades should always be reversed or
replaced as a matched set.
It is recommended to replace/reverse the blades when
the wood sticks can not be automatically drawn into the
shredder after entering the hopper. One set of sharp edges
can cut approximately 400 lbs of materials, depending on
the hardness and quality of the sticks. When the cutting
capacity is reached, make sure to replace/ reverse the
shredder blades to maintain optimal performance.
WARNING:
Wear protective gloves to protect your hands.
Cutting blades have sharp edges on both sides
and are fragile. Handle the blades carefully to
avoid personal injury or damage to the blades.
1. Turn off and unplug the machine. Wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop.
2. Fully unscrew the hopper lock knob until it springs out.
Open the hopper to access the cutting head (A).
3. Clean out all chips or foreign matter sticking to the
cutting head and blades (B) using a soft brush.
4. Rotate the cutting head to the configuration shown in.
To prevent the cutting head from rotating during blade
change, insert a screwdriver through the blade guard
hole (C) and the slot in the cutting head (Fig. 7).
5. Unscrew the two hex bolts (D) on the top blade. Turn the
cutting head 180 degrees to remove the other blade.
6. The blades may be reversed when one of the cutting
edges becomes dull or chipped. Reverse the direction of
the original blades, or install two new blades. Make sure
to reverse or replace both blades at the same time so
they are balanced with one another. Align the slots on the
blade with the grooves on the cutting head.
7. Secure each blade with two hex bolts, firmly tighten them
with a hex wrench. Close the hopper and fully tighten the
hopper locking knob.
