The knife attachments for both fixed and rotating knives must have been properly
cleaned.

Only screws supplied by Conair may be used for installing knives.
It is very important that the knives are torqued to correct tightening torque.
To install the fixed and rotating knives a strong torque wrench is needed.

Pre-setting of knives
NOTE: The knives must be sharpened before pre-setting.
Pre-setting fixture
In the delivery of the 18 Series granulators, are two pre-setting fixtures
of the compact model included. One pre-setting fixture to rotating
knives and one fixture to fixed knives. Furthermore one 8 mm hex
wrench and a 0.20 mm feeler gauge are included, for pre-setting of all
knives in the granulator. The pre-setting fixtures makes the knife
installation simpler and quicker. The pre-setting fixtures are calibrated
against the fixed set positions in the granulator. The fixtures makes it
simply and quick to pre-set the knives to a 0.20 - 0.50 mm
knife clearance.
