Steps

  1. Pull the grounds catch off the grinder.

    From the manual: “So first, we're going to take off our grinds catch.”

  2. Unscrew the thumbscrew on top counter-clockwise and take it out.

    From the manual: “just undo this thumbscrew at the very top”

  3. Lift off the handle together with the small nut under it and keep them as a pair.

    From the manual: “We're going to take our handle off as well as this little nut”

  4. Hold the inner burr from underneath with a finger and unscrew the adjustment wheel counter-clockwise until it comes off.

    From the manual: “put my finger on the bottom of the burr just to hold it in place”

  5. Draw the drive shaft and inner burr straight out through the bottom, keeping it square because the fit is tight.

    From the manual: “we'll just pull straight out the bottom”

  6. Brush the ground coffee off the inner cone burr and off the outer ring burr with a dry brush.

    From the manual: “I have access to wiping grinds off the burr here.”

  7. Clear the rest of the body with a long soft brush, a pipe cleaner or a little compressed air.

    From the manual: “If you have a long sort of soft brush or a pipe cleaner”

  8. Push the drive shaft back up through the bearings, straight in.

    From the manual: “reassemble by pushing the driveshaft up through our bearings straight in”

  9. Thread the adjustment wheel back on far enough to hold.

    From the manual: “We'll put our adjustment wheel back on”

  10. Refit the small nut, lining up its D-shaped hole with the flat on the shaft.

    From the manual: “When we go to put this little nut back on, it's actually asymmetrical.”

  11. Refit the handle, push the thumbscrew through and tighten it fully, then put the grounds catch back.

    From the manual: “screw the thumbscrew all the way back on”

  12. Set the grind again, since the wheel setting was lost; Kinu suggests starting about one and a half turns open and adjusting to taste.

    From the manual: “Start with an initial setting at one and one-half rotations, then adjust to taste from there.”
