Safety information.
WARNING!
Danger of electric shock (1/2)
Improper use, incorrect electrical installation or excessively high voltage can lead to electric shock. Therefore:
▪Connect the grinder only if the mains voltage of the socket complies with the information indicated on the type plate.
▪Connect the grinder only to a socket with good accessibility so that it can be quickly disconnected in the event of a fault.
▪Do not use the grinder if you notice any damage or if the power cable or plug is faulty. A damaged cable or plug must be
replaced by the manufacturer or by qualified service personnel in order to avoid hazards.
▪Do not operate the grinder without an earth connection.
▪Connect the grinder only if the power supply is secured with a 16 A slow fuse or 15 A overload protection (USA). Only
qualified electricians may install protective measures if the power connection at the site of use is not yet secured in this way.

Before initial operation
Functioning and basic settings
The Foxtail grinder requires 3-phase power supply to function. Ensure a properly secured and grounded 3-phase power
supply socket is available at your location and consult a certified electrician if it is not available. 3-phase power is the preferred
supply for coffee grinders that require high and consistent power for commercial grinding operation.
The grinder is designed to grind into bags but may also be used to grind into other containers if these can be secured safely
while grinding and do not interfere with the grinder’s front vibrating plate (11). The grinder is powered as soon as its main
power cord (12)is connected to a suitable power supply. Grinding operation is controlled via the ON-button (6) and OFF-
button (7) located on the front of the grinder beneath the recipe sticker.
The grinder applies a modular design to ease maintenance and service to optimize machine uptime. It is possible to simply
remove and replace the entire grinding module assembly including grinding discs and flapper rather than replacing single
components. The same applies to the electric module that houses all switching and other electric components that experience
wear.
Validating the grinder and scope of delivery
Note! Risk of damage! Take care while opening the grinder packaging with a sharp knife or other pointed objects,
otherwise the grinder may be damaged.
▪Remove the grinder from its packaging
▪Validate that the delivery scope is complete (see p.3)
▪Check for damage to the grinder or to its individual parts: if damage is detectable, do not use the grinder and
contact your supplier.
Information: please note that each grinder is subjected to a function test before delivery and that residues of coffee
powder may be present in the grinding chamber

Before initial operation
Information: the grinder switches off automatically if the bean hopper is not attached
Setting up the grinder
1. Place the grinder on a level and stable surface.
2. Install the bean hopper (2) by securing it onto the top of the grinder body with the provided screws. Ensure that
enough space is available on the right side of the grinder for the bean hopper slider (4) to open completely.
3. Insert the drip tray (14) into the corresponding housing recess on the bottom of the front panel and secure it in
place with the provided screws.
4. Ensure the spout pipe (10)is securely fastened in place and that the spout knocker (9) can move freely.
5. Connect the grinder power cord (12)to a suitable, secured and grounded 3-phase power supply. The grinder main
power is on as soon the power cord is connected to a power supply.
6. When grinding into bags, take care to select a bag size of sufficient size to prevent the spout pipe (10) from reaching
far into the coffee bag / to prevent the spout pipe from interfering with accumulating coffee inside of the bag.
