Are there instructions for this grinder?

There were no instructions in the package when I received this product. It's very simple to use and it works very well. Put your pepper or whatever spice you want to grind in the top after unscrewing the first section and turn until you feel you have reached the consistency that you want. My only concern is that it is small but other than that, it's fine.

No instructions were included with this grinder. The design is pretty straight forward; other than the magnetic lid the other compartments are threaded to screw together. Place your spices (pepper, etc) in the top compartment and twist (which may require a decent effort) until you reach the desired consistency.

No, but it is very simple (: put your herb etc into the top and twist it until there's nothing left in the top and then open the second chamber and all of your herb etc will be there. The bottom chamber catches your pollen etc (: I don't know if this helps. But yeah (:

No very easy to learn. Oregon has a video on website or you tube with set up and use instructions. Hardest thing for me was moving blade in and out at even speed and keeping it straight. But that was from years and years of using a bench grinder and just relearning how to do it properly

It's very easy to use. Adjust the size of the gring tighting or loosing the screw in the inner part of the grinder. Then just turn the crank and enjoy.

Bottom of the grinder there is a knurled nut. Clockwise to adjust finer, counterclockwise to adjust coarser. Love mine!

Until I read this question, I did not know that grinders could be adjustable. Now I have tried moving that dial, and seems bigger pieces always slip through. No instructions came with it. My experience with pepper grinders is eventually the pepper grinds too big, and then I replace it. Sorry I can't be of help.

No instructions. I looked on you tube. There are a lot of people showing how to do it.

The grinder I received is wonderful. Very good quality, has Porlex Japan engraved on the bottom, worthless instructions written in Japanese. The real deal as far as I'm cocerned.

I did the same thing. Then I read the Amazon reviews and realized I should have just taken off the top. So I did that, emptied all the peppercorns out, and then it was a lot easier to push the grinder bur in far enough to get the Phillips head screw to connect to the center shaft. I'm not really the "handy" type but this seems to have worked.

It's self explanatory if you ever used a grinder. Of not you want to use the two pronged wrench that comes in the box. It will match up to the ring. On the top side you will push the black 'hold' bottom at the same time and turn the wrench to loosen. Opposite to reinstall whatever cup you are changing to. Exactly the same for a metal grinder. Hope that helps

It is a notched disc on the main axle. There should be a small lever/spring that secures it in position. Lift that up when you want to adjust it.You can keep tightening the knob until the grinder binds against itself. I also found that some periodic tightening is necessary.

No there are no instructions. and if I were you I wouldn't buy this one. ALL of the metal tubes that came with it began to rust, we didn't even have the set for a year.

Good question, I don't remember what it said on box/directions and it doesn't say on grinder. It takes too much work and your thumb gets tired, unless you just like a little bit of pepper. I want to find one of those old Italian wooden grinders, but I was told the company was sold to a Chinese company who moved the factory to China and the resulting low quality... probably scour eBay.

It is fairly simple to change the cup wheel. Unplug the grinder first. Then towards the front on the left side of the grinder on the silver part there is a black button. Press the button down with your thumb and spin the wheel with the other hand. When the wheel is spun far enough the button will depress slightly further and will lock the wheel in place. Then you continue holding the button down and turn the wheel counterclockwise and it will thread off. It can sometimes be on there pretty tight. Good Luck

I too had this problem. Even with the online PDF, I struggled a bit. There is a sequence of the assembly that is a little tricky. Regardless, I highly recommend this grinder.

As I recall there were instructions included. I think you can find instructions online too.

Gary, to adjust the grind, there is a large slotted screw head in the bottom of the mill (accessed from underneath ) that adjusts the grind. It works well. I have had this mill for well over a year (and ground a lot of pepper). The grind size remains very consistent for a given settng.
