disconnect the power cord.
V-CUTTER MAINTENANCE
• Switch the machine off and disconnect the power
cord ensuring all moving parts are completely
stopped.
• Wear gloves when attempting any maintenance
to the cutting blades.
JAMMING if blades become jammed rotate knob
under motor. If blades can not be worked loose refer
to disassembly instructions (Item1) and then remove
obstruction.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Loosen caging knobs and remove the top cover
assembly.
2. Rotate the cutter base anti clockwise and place a
piece of wood between the cutter base and
cutting chamber wall so as to stop the cutting
base retating. (Fig 3)
3. Remove the center hold down bolt by turning it
anti clockwise using a 17mm spanner.
4. Remove the square washer, square bush, V-cutter
to expose cutter base.

SHREDDING BLADES MAINTENANCE

To inspect or renew the double sided shredding
blades there is no need to remove the cutter base. To
remove simply undo the counter sunk screws with the
6mm hex wrench supplied with the machine and turn
them through 180 These blades are double ground
and can be used on both sides. When blunt on both
sides renew and ensure they are screwed in tightly.
ASSEMBLY This is carried out in the reverse sequence
to that of disassembly but with careful inspection of
all components. Ensure that cutter base is assembled
with the scraping plates facing down towards the
motor and that the spring washer is situated under
the head of the centre hold down bolt. (Fig 4)

Before replacing the top cover assembly ensure that
the V-cutter is positioned as shown in (Fig.5) Replace
the top cover assembly and secure tightly the caging
knobs. If caging Knobs are not tight the motor will
not start due to the motor lock out switch not being
activated.
CLEANING After use, always wipe clean the outside
of the Trisecta to remove any build up of material
with a damp cloth. Clean the inside of the cutting
chamber and remove any left over material, Do not
hose down with water.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND MOTOR
JAMMING If overfeeding clogs the machine the over-
load protection switch may cut out the motor. To
restart, firstly switch the machine off and disconnect
the power cord.
Loosen caging knobs and remove top cover assembly,
then remove any clogged debris from the cutting
chamber. If the top cover assembly becomes jammed
and will not lift off, turn the V-cutter by pushing a
piece of wood through the back chute of the top
hopper to rotate the V-cutter to enable the top cover
assembly to be removed. Reset motor overload pro-
tection switch (Fig 6)
IMPORTANT: Before replacing top cover assembly
ensure that the V-cutter is positioned as shown in

Replace the top cover assembly together with the top
cover screw knob ensuring this is tight. If the top
cover screw knob is not tight the motor will not start
due to the motor lock out switch not being activated.
