Adjustment

It is recommended to watch video manual.
First, install the handle to limit the rotation of the shaft.
Turn the adjustment knob clockwise until it stops.
At this point, the pointer point on the adjustment knob points to the physical zero point.
One of the scales on the inner burr is a solid point, which can be regarded as 12 o'clock.
Remember what is the physical zero of your grinder.
Then turn the adjustment button counterclockwise.
Pour-over for about 4 circles.
Espresso for about 20 grids.
Please note: one grid between two points, 12 grids in one circle.
Different beans have different scales.
Different rotation speed have different scales too.
So when using a power tool to drive the grinder, you need to adjust the scale.
Fine-tuning as appropriate.

Usage and Cleaning

It is recommended to watch video manuals.
For the first time, adjust the scale to 2 circles and grind 10 grams of beans.
Do not use the first grinding powder.
Brush off the electrostatic powder around the burr and in the powder cup.
Use lens blower to blow off residual particles inside the fuselage.
Disassemble the body cleaning parts once a month.
The body can be removed to clean the interior, once a month.
All parts can be cleaned with water or a neutral detergent, except for metal bearings, wooden balls and contemporary burr.
Helor 101 with Conventional Burr and ceramic bearing can be washed under the tap, Let the water flow in from the bean cabin and flow out from the burr, rotate the shaft by hand when rinsing. After rinsing, blow dry the interior with the cool air blower of the hair dryer.
Put on the anti-slip sleeve if the hand holding the fuselage is slippery.

Static electricity

Static electricity is a natural phenomenon and it is difficult to avoid.
Static electricity is more noticeable in winter, especially when wearing chemical fiber clothing. After weighing the beans, you can drop a drop of water into the beans, shake them in a powder cup, and pour them into the grinder.
The water will carry away the charge when it evaporates.
Do not remove the powder cup after grinding, knock the fuselage to the palm of your hand twice, most of the electrostatic powder will enter the powder cup.

Components life

Used correctly, the main components of the grinder can be used for life.
Burr, bearing, wood ball and powder cup apron are lossy parts and will wear normally.
The service life of the lossy parts depends on the frequency of use and the hardness of the beans.
The life of conventional burr is about 1 to 2 years.
The life of contemporary burr is about 2 to 3 years.
When service life is up, it can still be used, but the blade is blunt, the resistance is big, and the fine powder is much more.
The life of bearing is about two to three years.
The life of a wooden ball is about three to five years.
The life of a powder cup apron is about 2 to 3 years.
