Proper usage

This shredder has been designed for cutting fibrous and
woody garden waste for the purpose of compositing.
Controls
On/off switch
• Press the green button to switch on the shredder.
• Press the red button to switch it off.
Note: This machine is equipped with an electromagnetic
switch to prevent it from being unexpectedly switched on
when power source recovered.
Reversing switch
Caution! The reversing switch can only be oper-
ated when the shredder is switched off.
Position A (Fig. 1.A)
The reversing switch has been set to position A. The
chopping knife will pull in the material and chop it. The
switch is set to position A after the manufacturer's test.
Position B (Fig. 1.B)
When the chopping knife is jammed so that the motor
cannot keep running, first press the red button of the on/
off switch to stop the motor. Then completely turn the
reversing switch to left position B and press the on/off
switch (the green button). Keep the green button of the
on/off switch pressed, the chopping knife will rotate into
the reverse direction and release the material to enable
you to remove it. When you release the on/off switch the
shredder will stop automatically.
Overload protection
Overload (e.g. blocking up of the chopping knife) will lead
to a standstill of the machine after a few seconds. To pro-
tect the motor from getting damaged, the overload switch
will automatically cut off the mains supply.
Wait at least 1 minute before restarting by first pressing
the reset button and then the on/off switch.
If the chopping knife is blocked turn the reversing switch
to left position B before switching on the shredder again.
Disassembling
For certain purposes, e.g. storage after use, etc, you can
disassemble the shredder in the reverse order as de-
scribed under "Assembling ".
Feeding
Feed the material to be chopped into the right side of the
feeding tunnel. The material is automatically pulled in by
the chopping knife.
Caution! Longer material standing out from the
machine could lash out when being pulled in by
the chopping knife! Keep a safety distance!
Warning! Always use the pusher (Fig.11) if you
try to push the material into the feeding tunnel.
Do not use your hands directly! Keep the pusher
well after use.
Only insert as much material as will not block up the
feeding tunnel.
Chop garden waste that has been stored for some days
and is wilted and damp alternately with branches.
This will prevent the chopping knife from getting blocked
up.
Do not fill into the shredder any soft material such as
kitchen waste instead of compositing it.
Widely branched material with leaves must be completely
chopped before any new material is fed in.
Take care that the chopped material can freely fall from
the discharge chute – danger of backing up!
The ventilation slots must not be covered by the waste
bag or the chopped material.
Emptying the collection box
The level of shredded material debris in the collection box
can be checked by looking through the notches on the
upper face of the base frame. Always empty the collection
box in good time to prevent it from overfilling.
To empty it, proceed as follows:
a) Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.
b) Press the safety switch down.
c) Release the collection box.
d) Take the collection box out at the front.
Adjusting the cutting gear
The anvil blade B should be adjusted to have a distance
of 0 to 0,75 mm from the cutting blade A (fig. 13). This
distance should be kept to guarantee effective operation
of the mac.
Note: Soft materials or wet twigs can get torn instead of
cut properly due to wrong adjustment. Also a blunt an-
vil blade from frequent use produces the same problem.
On the right hand side of the shredder you will find the
blade adjustment knob (6). To adjust the distance turn the
screw to the right.
1. For lighter material, you can cut through the material
completely turn the knob clockwise half a turn.
2. If you are shredding heavy materials (such as harder
or large materials) they may need to be put through
the shredder twice, to crush the material before cutting
it completely. To loosen the adjusting screw, turn the
knob (6) anti-clockwise half a turn.
3. After you have completed the adjustment, check if
the blade cuts efficiently. To avoid and damage to the
shredder make sure that the cutting blade does not
come into contact with the anvil blade.
NOTE
1. Do not allow garden waste to accumulate before
shredding as it will begin to compost, become too
damp and clog the cutting assembly. Dry material will
help most material to clear the ejection chute. Save
some dry sticks until last to help clean the blade area.
