4 Set-up and basic adjustment
You have received your tamper in operating condition. Now you only
need to adjust the port-a-lter clamp, connect the tamper to the
power grid and insert drip tray. Proceed as follows:
4.1 Adjustment of port-a-lter clamp
The tamper is designed so that all dierent portalter from various
espresso machines t into the clamp (pos. 3 & 4 ) for even and level
tamping.
If the portalter clamp is not correctly adjusted, even and level
tamping cannot be guaranteed!
Proceed as follows for adjustment of the portalter clamp:
1. Retract the power cord from the socket at the bottom side.

8
2. Slightly loosen the bolts (pos. 5) with the provided T-wrench and
pull down the portalter clamp.
3. Insert the portalter in between the upper- and lower clamp.
Turn the adjustment wheel counter-clockwise to move the lower
clamp up against the portalter.
4. Refasten the bolts (pos. 5) screws slightly. Do not fasten the bolts
entirely.

6. Try to insert the portalter in the clamp and check if the port-a-
lter slides in the clamp easily. If the adjustment of the clamp is
too loose, start again at step 2.
7. The portalter should not wiggle!
4.2 Usage location
