9.7 Knife section
The knife sections are mounted with the flat (non-chamfered) sides facing their
respective comb finger for optimum shred. They can be reversed, from one side of the
disc to the other, before sharpening so both cutting edges are utilised.
Sharpen knife sections on the flat side to reduce the thickness and restore the cutting
edge.
.
WARNING: Never open cover while the fan is still rotating!
Never rotate the cover disc into this ‘open’ position while the fan is still
rotating, even slowly!
WARNING: Never ever reach down the chute for any reason!!!
Never reach down the chute to remove a blockage or for any other
reason. Given the weight and diameter of the fan, the shearing action
between the fan blades and knife at the base of the chute, very serious
injury could occur. There is a very high risk of mutilation or severing
fingers or hands!
WARNING: Always wear protective clothing and gloves
Always wear suitable protective clothing and gloves when sharpening
blades or handling sharp objects.
