front side (F) of one of them must face towards the right, and the other must face towards
the left.
Perform the following steps to ensure that this rule is
applied consistently.
• Remove two blades that are diametrically opposite
each other. Rotate them 180° and reposition them. Do
the same with the two remaining blades. Repeat this
operation for the three remaining blade discs of group
2.
• Always clean the blades and blade holders before refit-
ting them.
Caution: When refitting the blades, always position the nuts on the left-hand
side of the blade disc. By applying this installation method, the nuts will auto-
matically be tightened during shredding by the turning direction of the blade
shaft.
As a reminder: Always position the nuts on the belt pulley side.
11.5.3.2. How to replace a blade
• The new set of RESIST/8™ blades for the Prof 6 is available from your ELIET dealer under the
reference: BU 101 300 800.
• Remove all M8 bolts securing the blades. Always use two ring wrenches with long handles to
unscrew these bolts.
• Do not pull the blades out with your hands; use locking pliers instead.
• It is useful to put a wedge (screwdriver) between the blade discs in order to remove the
blades more easily.
• First remove any dirt between the blade discs before you insert a new blade. Use a painting
knife to do this.
• Now carry out the steps that must be followed to turn the blades: See “11.5.3.1. How to turn a
blade”, page 65.
