OPERATION
MATERIAL PREPARATION
The M180S Trimmer can be used to trim wet (fresh) or dry material. If trimming dry, it is
recommended that the material have a moisture content in the range of 11% - 15%. When
the moisture content is below 11%, the material tends to become very brittle and fragile and
the flower-to-trim ratio suffers as a result.
TRIMMER SET-UP
Take the following steps to set up the trimmer for operation:
1. Ensure there is sufficient space in the operating area to accommodate the
following:
● Allow for enough space behind the machine to comfortably install and
remove the trim tote.
● Allow for enough space at the front of the machine to allow the operator to
easily access the control panel and, in particular, the emergency stop button.
● Allow for enough space on the infeed of the trimmer to accommodate either
the infeed hopper or an Infeed Conveyor.
● Allow for enough space around the infeed to have multiple totes of material
staged and ergonomically positioned to feed into the trimmer.
● Allow for enough space on the outfeed to accommodate collection totes, an
outfeed conveyor, sorting equipment, scales, or any other equipment
necessary to maintain a consistent processing workflow.
● If using an Outfeed Conveyor to perform quality control functions, allow for
enough space to position personnel safely and comfortably on one or both
sides of the conveyor.
● Consider the proximity of the trimmer to the power source. The standard
power cord supplied with the M108S Trimmer is 15’ (4.5m). For custom cord
lengths, please contact Eteros Technologies.
2. Check that the electrical box filter is in place and clean. It is recommended that the
electrical box filter is replaced after every trim session.
3. Check that the correct exhaust filter (wet trimming filter versus dry trimming filter)
is in place and clean. It is particularly important that the dry trimming exhaust filter
