cleaning the machine and millers:
- Regular machine maintenance will keep it in good working order and ensure a long
working life.
- Clean the machine using a soft brush or cloth.
- Never use jets of water or solvents to remove dirt as they could damage some
components.
The part which is most subject to wear is the work tool; check every time that there
are no deformations or excessive wear on the blades.
After every use, remove all soil residues from the millers, disassemble them and apply
a light layer of grease on the miller support shaft.
To prevent the formation of rust, apply a small quantity of oil or silicone lubricating oil
on the millers before storing the machine for long periods.

6300AA, Lubriplate GR-132 o Multifak, e.g. EP-O) through the greasing hole (no.1)
until it comes out from the bleed hole (no.2). Do not apply an excessive quantity
