• Checking the Cutting Head Chain Tension

Check the chain tension once every week in the rst month, then once a month thereafter.

1. Switch off the shredder and unplug from wall outlet.

2. Remove the top right side cover.

3. The sagging of the chain (see Fig. 3) should be 9 - 14 mm, measured from the top inside of

the frame to the cutting head chain.

If it is not within this range, loosen the tension screws until the sagging reaches the

correct level. Retighten the tension nuts.

4. Replace the side cover, plug in the shredder.

NOTE:

Excessive tensioning of the chain can cause premature wear of the chain and bearings.

The smallest allowed chain sagging in the rst month of operation is 5 mm. After that, 9 mm.
