Adjusting Cutting Bade and Pressure Plate
Blade Adjustment
• The pressure plate setting is adjusted in the factory to the correct setting, and should normally only
need adjustment after considerable wear.
• If you experience frequent blockages, the distance of the pressure plate from the blade can be
increased by turning the adjusting knob (A11) anticlockwise.
• If the material is not being suciently shredded turn the adjusting screw clockwise to reduce the gap
between the cutting blade and the pressure plate. Only make small adjustments each time.
• Turn the adjusting screw (A11) slowly clockwise until you hear scraping noises. Small aluminium
shavings will come out of the ejection chute.
Avoid unnecessary wear on the pressure plate by not over-adjusting.
