OPERATION

Recommendations on the operation of the machine

Before using the machine for the first time, check that the power supply of the machine (listed in the “Technical data” section) matches the power supply of your local power supply line.
It is prohibited to use the machine without proper grounding.
When connecting the machine to the power supply line, the grounding contact of the plug must be grounded. Neutral grounding should be done by means of a flexible insulated wire with a cross section of not less than 2.5mm.
The neutral protective wire shall be connected to the neutral wire of the power line by means of a screwed or soldered connection with a suitably cleaned connection point.
When not in use, disconnect the machine from the power source.
Maintenance and repair work should only be carried out after the machine has been disconnected from the power supply.
Never leave the machine unattended while it is running.
Do not use the machine with a damaged cord or plug.
During grinding, it is prohibited to push materials into the hopper and the cutting area with hands or other unsuitable objects.
It is prohibited to maintain or use the mill in conditions of high humidity.
It is prohibited to work with reduced motor speed and to connect a blocked motor to the power supply (to avoid possible fire in the electric motor and electric cables).
It is prohibited to open the front cover until the drum rotation has stopped completely.
The use of other types of fuses is prohibited.
To avoid overloading the power supply line, do not use the mill together with other power-consuming devices.
WARNING! Check the correspondence of the power supply line with those indicated on the machine’s technical data plate (+10% deviation from the indicated values is allowed).

Operation

Secure the machine to a table or other hard and stable surface with bolts, nuts and washers.
If you want to grind grains, you should fit the machine with a suitable sieve and tray.
Close the loading opening. Place the sack on the discharge nozzle.
Plug the cable into an appropriate socket and allow the machine to run for one minute in idle speed without load.
Pour the grain into the tray gradually. Remove any foreign objects from grains before pouring.
Depending on the type of grain, select the appropriate sieve. Start the machine only after you have placed the grain for milling, close the lid and start the milling process in the working chamber. Depending on the grain and sieve diameter, its feeding should be regulated by the gate.
To change the grinding coarseness, change the sieve you are using.
Do not allow overfilling, as it can lead to the damage of the machine.
Switch off the machine only after you have processed all the grains poured into the tray, closed the gate and finished processing the grains in the work chamber.

Follow the steps below to start the grinding process:

Check that the machine is switched off.
Remove the rotor (3) and the sieve (4).
Close the inlet valve (2).
Insert the tray (5) and insert the funnel.
The machine is now ready to grind the materials.
Materials can be imported from the loading funnel (1) to be processed. For a better placement of the material in the funnel, use a push rod. When finished, switch off the machine and clean up any debris and accumulated dust.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Maintenance
