Cuisinart CSB-55 - Manual (Page 4)

SHAFT LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
Your SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft Hand Blender has a shaft that extends up
to 2 additional inches. This feature was developed with two major benefits in
mind. One benefit is that you can mix and blend in tall pots, pitchers, glasses
or other mixing containers. This makes the SmartStick™ Hand Blender
more useful than other Hand Blenders.
The second goal is comfort. You may find that using this appliance is more
comfortable to hold with the shaft extended, even if you do not require the
longer shaft for blending.
Making the Shaft Longer.
It will be easier to adjust the shaft length when it is attached to the Hand
Blender. Follow these steps to adjust:
1. Hold the SmartStick™ Hand Blender firmly with both hands.
Hold the main body securely in one hand.
2. With the other hand rotate the Shaft Adjustment Ring to the left
(counterclockwise) to loosen the shaft. This will be about a one quarter
turn. Do not overturn.
3. Extend the shaft to the desired length by pulling on the lower end of the
shaft. The shaft can be adjusted up to 2 inches. When you have reached
the maximum possible length of the shaft, you will feel resistance. Do not
pull any further.
4. When you have located the most desirable length, rotate the Shaft
Adjustment Ring to the right (clockwise) to tighten the shaft. Do not over-
tighten as you may damage the threads on the shaft.
5. You are ready to use the SmartStick™ Hand Blender with shaft extended.
Note: After blending, rinse the shaft including the extended segment.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Place the package containing the Cuisinart SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft
Hand Blender on a sturdy surface. Unpack the SmartStick™ from its box by
removing the upper protective insert. Gently slide the unit from the box.
Remove all support materials from the box and replace the upper insert. Save
packaging for possible repacking of the unit.
Note: The blending blade is extremely sharp. Use caution when
removing and unpacking the storage stand. The blending blade is
stored in the storage stand.
Before using the Cuisinart ® SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft Hand Blender for
the first time, we recommend that you wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth
to remove any dirt or dust. Dry it thoroughly with a soft absorbent cloth.
Handle carefully; wash each individual blade attachment, mixing container
and detachable shaft by hand or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before
use. Read all instructions completely for detailed operating procedures.
HAND BLENDER ASSEMBLY
Note: To avoid possibility of personal injury always be sure to unplug
the power cord from electrical wall socket before attaching or removing
blades and/or attachments.
A. Attach blade or whipping disc to blender shaft.
For your safety, always detach the shaft from motor body.
To insert the blade or whipping disc, hold the stem of the blade/disc
between your fingers. Match the raised notches on the shaft to the open
slots on the stem.
Once properly aligned, slide the blade/disc onto the stem and push
firmly into position. To ensure that the blade/disc is securely in place,
carefully press the center end of each attachment back toward the shaft.
It is important to properly secure the blade/disc to prevent separation
during use. Do not begin operating Cuisinart SmartStick™ Hand
Blender until the desired blade/disc is secured!

blender shaft to
motor control body.
Align blender shaft with the
motor body as shown in
