🛠️ How to Use & Troubleshooting
How to Use
- Break material into pea-size pieces and place evenly across the teeth.
- Close the magnetic lid and rotate gently — avoid over-tightening.
- Tap the grinder lightly, then open and collect your fluffy grind.
- 4-Piece models: Unscrew the lower chambers to access sifted kief.
Care & Cleaning
- Brush teeth and screen regularly to prevent resin build-up.
- For deep cleans: disassemble and soak aluminum parts in isopropyl alcohol; rinse and dry completely before re-assembly.
- Avoid harsh abrasives that can mar the anodized finish.
Troubleshooting
- Stiff rotation: Check for packed material along the seam; clean and add a tiny drop of food-safe lubricant on the friction ring if needed.
- Material too fine/coarse: Try lighter pressure and fewer turns; Santa Cruz teeth are designed to cut (not mash) for a fluffy texture.
- Kief screen clogged: Soak the screen in ISO, then rinse and air dry fully.
