hands.
Installing or changing the pestle
Make sure that the pestle is locked in position. Otherwise it may fall out when the lid is closed and
damage the mortar.
Adjusting the Scraper to the Mortar
The scraper can become sharp-edged as a result of sanding and wear during grinding operations. During
cleaning in particular there is a risk of injury.
Adjusting the scraper contact pressure
If the scraper pressure is set too high this causes rapid wear of the scraper and contamination of the
material to be milled through the scraper material.
If the scraper pressure is set too high this increases the motor load and can cause triggering of the
overload protection switch on the rear side of the machine.
Adjusting the milling time
The milling operation can be started only if the lid is closed.
