REvERSIBLE BLADE
The Cuisinart ® Smart Stick ® Hand Blender chopper/grinder attachment
is equipped with a reversible blade. This blade is sharp on one side
and blunt on the other. The blade is attached to a plastic ring which
slides over the plastic blade sheath, so it can be easily turned over to
select the appropriate blade. To reverse the blade: see detailed
instructions below. Frequent Uses for Chopper/Grinder (page 15).
Before you process any food, assemble the blender parts.
1. Put the prep bowl on a flat, dry,
stable surface. It should be close
to an electrical outlet of the same
voltage as stated on the rating
plate on the Smart Stick ® Hand
Blender.
2. The metal blade assembly shaft
(C) is attached to the bottom of
the prep bowl. If not already in
place, slide the fully assembled
blade assembly (E) over the top of
the metal blade assembly shaft.
2a. Putting together the blade
assembly: Connect the blade ring
(F) to the plastic blade sheath (G).
Line up the blade ring opening
with the plastic sheath. Let the
blade ring slide to the bottom of
the plastic sheath. HOLD THE
BLADE RING BY THE CENTRAL HUB HOLDING RIBS (grips) (K)
ONLY. DO NOT TOUCH THE RAZOR-SHARP BLADES.
Note these important features of the blade ring. The blade ring
can be placed over the plastic blade sheath in two different ways:
If you hold it this way (A), you will see the word “Sharp” on the
blade. Assemble the blade this side up to use the sharp edge.
(See the section on processing food for information about when
to use the sharp edge.)
If you hold it this way (B), you will see no writing on the blade.
Assemble the blade this side up to use the blunt edge. (See the
section on processing food, for information about when to use
the blunt edge.)
There are notches (C) on opposite sides of the interior of the hub.
These fit over ridges on the sides of the plastic blade sheath.
