2.1.1. The machine is mainly composed of a base, a casing, a dial, a vertical blade, a horizontal blade body, a horizontal cutting blade body, a transmission system, and an electrical control system.
2.1.2. The frame, casing, hopper and main parts of the machine are made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel to ensure long-term operation without corrosion and toxicity.
2.2. Operating principle
The dial of this machine drives the object to be cut to rotate at high speed, and the centrifugal force of the object cuts the object into slices with the help of force. It then cuts it into strips through the disc shredder blade and sends the material to be cut onto the horizontal cutting edge. The cross-cutting blade cuts it into the required cubes. (Figure 3, schematic diagram of dicing)

4. OPERATION AND USE
4.1. Preparation and inspection before use
4.1.1. First place the machine on a stable floor and then lock the caster wheels.
4.1.2. Check whether there are foreign objects in the housing and remove the foreign objects in the housing, otherwise it is easy to cause damage to the blade.
4.1.3. Clean the operating site, check whether the power supply voltage is consistent with the voltage used by the machine, find a professional electrician for the wiring, connect the machine's power cord to the grounded yellow-green wire, and connect the other three cores to a 6A circuit breaker (prepared by the user) at the lead wire terminal when disconnected. Reliably connect the ground wire to the grounding mark, or use wires to reliably connect to the equipotential terminal of other machines on the grounding studs outside the enclosure (2.5 mm²-6 mm² for connecting wires), close the breaker, press the "ON" button, check whether the direction is correct (upward on the turntable, clockwise is correct); if not, cut off the power supply and adjust the wiring of two of the power lines.
4.1.4. Connect the water source for use.
4.1.5. When the machine is in operation, do not insert your hands or other foreign objects into the casing to avoid danger.
4.2. Operation and use
4.2.1. First, the material to be cut must be washed to remove impurities. If the material to be cut is mixed with sand and mud, the knife's cutting edge and blade will easily become damaged and dull. The maximum cutting diameter of the material should not exceed 80 mm; if it is larger than this diameter, it should be cut into small pieces.
4.2.2. Turn off the circuit breaker and close the enclosure door. The machine can start. If the door is not closed properly, the safety switch will operate and the motor will not operate.
4.2.3. The material to be cut is placed in the hopper, and under the action of the dial, it is cut into the required thickness by the vertical blade, then cut into strips by the disc shredder blade, and finally cut into squares by the horizontal cutting knife.
4.2.4. Adjusting the dicing specification: It is changed by adjusting the slice thickness, replacing the disc shredding blade and the cross-cutting blade.
4.2.4.1. Slice Thickness Adjustment: The slice thickness can be adjusted to the required thickness by adjusting the adjustment plate. First, loosen the fixing bolt on the housing adjustment plate, raise the adjustment plate, and turn the adjustment lever to the required position. Then, lower the adjustment plate and tighten it. Secure the bolt so that it is secure (as shown in Figure 4 Schematic diagram of slice thickness adjustment).

4.2.4.2. Disc shredder blade replacement: The replacement disc shredder combination blade has different specifications, such as 5 mm and 10 mm, and other specification combination blades can also be customized according to needs.
[TABLE: Figure 5 – Pitch of vertical disc cutting blades]
Cutting thickness | Passing of pieces |
---|---|
5 mm | 5 mm |
10 mm | 10 mm |
Combined disc shredding cutters of various specifications are standard accessories and can be customized according to needs.
Replacing Sized Blades. Replacement steps: First, loosen your grip, push the handle down so that the micro-cut combination blade emerges from the comb. Then, loosen the nut at the end of the shaft, hook the slot at the front end of the combination tool with a hook wrench, remove the combination tool, and replace it with the required size combination tool. Tighten the nut at the end of the shaft. Move the handle up to observe whether the transmission gear inside the machine is properly meshed. If the meshing is correct, the handle will be close to the controller, and the shredded blade from the disc will enter the groove of the comb and the vertical blade. There is no friction between the upper blade and the comb and vertical blade. If it jams, tighten the handwheel and complete the replacement. (Figure 6)

4.2.4.3. Replacement of Combination Cutting Tools for Cross Cutting. Depending on the cutting length and the requirements of the material to be cut, different types of combination cross-cutting knives are selected. Combination cross-cutting knives come in two specifications: 8-blade and 15-blade. Blades of other specifications can also be customized according to requirements, and the dimensions corresponding to the cutting length are as follows:
Cross section and grade The number of slices in the cut group:
- 5 mm: 15 sheets
- 10 mm: 8 sheets
4.2.5. The comb is used to scrape the residual material compressed between the vertical blades. When the comb is installed, the blade edge must be close to the surface of the blade spacer (it must not touch the vertical blades, otherwise it may damage the comb) combined with the horizontal blades to cut the perfect dado.
The position of the comb (adjust the calibration value of the scale line 5mm, 10mm, 15mm) must be consistent with the set slice thickness, otherwise it will affect the machine performance and slicing quality.
4.2.5.1. Incorrect installation, the material cannot pass through and the comb knife 11 is not close to the surface of the spacer ring of the combined disc and the shredding cutter. (Figure 7-1)
4.2.5.2. Incorrect installation: the comb blade edge is in contact with the septum ring, and the ring surface is damaged. The comb may be bent or broken. (Figure 7-2)

6. MAINTENANCE AND MAINTENANCE:
All maintenance and servicing work must be carried out after cutting off the power supply.
6.1. The machine must be cleaned after each use, especially the area and passageway where the material passes. (MANDATORY)
6.2. After each use, carefully check whether all cutter blades are damaged or dull, check whether the comb blade edge is normal or damaged, disassemble the disc shredder combination blade and horizontal cutter combination blade once a week (be careful when disassembling, use special tools to avoid hurting your hands) and clean them properly. When reassembling, they must be maintained with non-toxic and odorless food-grade oil, and food-grade oil must be applied to the shredding shaft and cutter shaft before installation to ensure easy disassembly.
6.3. Gear and chain oil every two weeks.
6.4. Grinding of various knives:
6.5. 1 Polishing and installation of vertical blades
To sharpen the vertical blade, on the disc wire cutter side only, sharpen edge 1 with oilstones at angle (a). When the mouth damage can be corrected Within 4 mm, the method can be to grind the gap area Angle (B) to form a new edge at angle (a). In addition, the edge is close to the side of the turntable, and the slight arc formed on the inside of the cutting edge is of the required shape to facilitate the operation of the cutting material. (As shown in Figure 8, schematic diagram of Vertical Knife Grinding.)

Move the lower end of the arc toward the top of the knife tray, as shown on the left side of Figure 9, but do not collide with the turntable. However, when the lower end of the arc is lower than the top of the turntable, it must be adjusted upward, otherwise it will not be possible to cut. (Figure 9 vertical knife installation schematic.)

6.5. Grinding disc shredder blades
When grinding round wire-cutting blades, to ensure a uniform blade diameter, mechanical grinding must be used; manual grinding is prohibited. The grinding direction (the direction of the tool being ground) must be inclined toward the center. The disc grinder blade may only be used until the diameter is reduced by 6 mm (see Figure 10, Schematic diagram of disc wire-cutting blade sharpening).
TEXTS IN THE IMAGE:
both sides of the blade are polished = both sides of the blade are polished
the width is 3mm = the width is 3mm
6.6. Grinding of cross-cutting blades
6.6.1. When the damage to the cutting edge of the cross-cutting knife is small, less than 2.5 mm (when it is greater than 2.5 mm, the entire blade must be replaced), the upper edge of the cutting edge is polished on the grinding machine or oilstone by mechanical or manual means. (Figure 11).
6.6.2. When disassembling the cross-cutting blade, if the screw cannot be loosened, soak the entire combination blade in hot water and the screw will be easy to loosen.
