Coil auger Each mill is shipped with the coil auger already
inserted in the mill. This auger looks like a big spring and
is used to grind smaller grains. The coil auger must
be inserted with the at end rst - towards the mill.
GrainBreaker auger This auger is designed to break
larger media into smaller pieces while pushing it
into the grinding burrs for the nal grind. It must
be used for legumes, corn, coffee and nuts.
Changing the augers
A. Position the extension handle and grip to its lowest point.
B. Remove dust cover.
C. Hold the burrs together with one hand while turning the click
& lock adjustable knob counterclockwise with the other hand
until it is completely unscrewed.
D. Remove the front grinding burr. It is not necessary to remove
the stationary burr when changing the augers.
E. Pull the auger out.
F. Use the provided brush to sweep out
any remaining media left inside the tube.
G. Insert the desired auger and reverse
the steps above.
H. Store the other auger on the
storage post. The storage post
is shipped with blue protective
tape at the top to protect it
during shipping. You may
choose to remove it if desired.
setup
1. ATTACH THE EXTENSION HANDLE
A. Remove the bolts securing your
mill to the shipping board and
secure the handle using the large
Allen wrench. Place the rst bolt
furthest away from the wood
grip into the shaft.
B. Place the second bolt into
the tapped spoke of the
V-pulley ywheel.
3. BEGIN MILLING
A. Place the safety guard in the hopper.
B. Fill the hopper with grain.
C. Loosen the click and lock
adjustable knob as it has been
tightened for shipping.
D. Turn the extension handle clockwise.
4. FINE-TUNING
A. As the grain works into the burrs, tighten the
adjustable click & lock knob 1 to 2 clicks, then turn
the extension handle 3 to 4 times, test consistency
and repeat this process until you reach the
desired consistency.
B. Remember, making small adjustments of 1
to 2 clicks does change the consistency, but it
is necessary to turn the extension handle a couple
of times. Do not go by what is in your collection
container as this will have various consistencies
during this process. Do not overtighten. This will
not allow the media to ow as there needs to be
room between the grinding burrs to allow the
our to escape.
Note: When grinding grain into our, it is
normal to have more our accumulating on
one side of your container versus the other.
2. SECURE THE MILL
A. Bolt your mill down to your work surface
B. You may also use the GrainMaker clamp.
The mill must be secured.

Shaft and Bearing
ASSEMBLY Removal
A. Remove pulley v-belt
ywheel by loosening
the set screw.
B. Remove dust cover and
adjustment knob.
C. Remove rotating front burr and auger.
D. Use a rubber mallet or block of wood placed on the end of
the shaft where the adjustment knob (B) was and tap. The shaft
and bearing assembly will come out on the opposite end where
the pulley v-belt ywheel was.
Note: To replace, do the reverse of the above steps.
GRINDING BURRS
A. Over-tightening the grinding burrs
will not allow media to ow.
B. If the grinding burrs are hot, you may
have the knob too tight. This is common especially
when using your own motor and running it too fast.
CLICK & LOCK ADJUSTMENT KNOB
A. Loosening the knob: Larger gap between burrs = coarser grind.
B. Tightening the knob: Less space between burrs = ner grind.
Note: When you loosen the knob, position the
extension handle and grip to its lowest point. If
you fail to do this, the handle and grip will lose
resistance and rotate quickly towards the base
of the mill. This could harm your ngers or hands.
