Maintenance
Your Black & Decker appliance has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
appliance care and regular cleaning.
u Keep the unit clean and dry.
u Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
u Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your appliance
using a soft brush or dry cloth.
Adjusting the cutter plate
The cutter plate needs to be adjusted if the appliance fails to
shred material.
u Turn the adjustment knob (7) clockwise half a turn into the
cutting position to cut through light material completely.
u Turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise half a turn
into the crushing position to shred heavy materials.
The materials may need to be put through the appliance
twice to crush the material before cutting it completely.
u Make sure the cutting blade does not touch the anvil blade
to avoid damage to the appliance.
When the shredded material starts to hang like a chain as
shown in g. D, adjust as follows:
u Switch the appliance on.
u Turn very slowly and slightly the adjustment knob (7)
clockwise until you hear a light grinding sound or a small
amount of aluminium shavings will fall out of the discharge
chute. The shredded material will now be separated as
shown in g. E.
Warning! Ensure the appliance is switched on and working in
normal forward direction. Adjusting the cutter plate while the
appliance is switched off can lead to serious damage of the
appliance.
