• Organic materials, e.g. branches, twigs, shrubs,
flower stems, leaves, etc. can be fed into the machine.
Branches up to approx. 35 mm diameter can be
shredded if the woodcuttings are fresh.
• Tree trimmings should be shredded as quickly as
pos-sible as they can become very hard when they
dry out. Accordingly the max. branch diameter will be
smaller.
• Garden waist which is very moist such as vegetable
leaves, flower stems, etc. tend to stick and can block
the ejector. Such waste is easier to shred after being
left to dry for a few days.
• Attention! The suction force is very high when the
blades are sharp. Therefore, when shredding thicker
branches hold on fast to the branch so that the motor
is not overloaded. We recommend that you wear work
gloves and safety goggles.
• It is useful to shred dry material every now and again
or at the end. This absorbs the moisture in the ma-
chine and the inside of the housing cleans itself.
• Ensure that the garden shredder is completely empty
when you switch it off, as unshredded materials can
block the blades when restarting.
Overload protection
Blocking: In case the machine becomes blocked by
overfeeding, the overload protection will be activated
automatically. In this case, the motor is switched off and
the safety switch (C) (Fig. 5) jumps forward. Do not attempt
to put the switch back in operating position as long as the
blockage has not been removed.
Pull the mains plug of the machine, first. Unscrew the
locking knob (A) (Fig. 5) and lift the upper feeding funnel
off of the main housing to be able to remove the blockage
(Fig. 6).
Warning: Wear gloves and stay away form the blades
when working under the open feeding funnel.
When the blockage has been removed, put the feeding
funnel back in place and make sure that the locking knob
(A) has been tightened firmly. Push the safety switch (C)
back in its initial position to reset the machine to operating
mode and connect the mains plug again to continue
shredding.
Feeding funnel
Shredding and mulching takes places as the material
fed into the machine is 'naturally' draw-in by the rotating
blades. If you should desire a finer mulching result feed the
mulched material into the machine again until the desired
result has been achieved. Do not overfeed the machine
and do not feed it with wet, moist material as this might
obstruct the blade area and the ejection funnel.
Warning: Switch the machine off and disconnect the plug
from the mains supply. Wear gloves and stay away form
the blades when working under the open feeding funnel.
To remove the blockage unscrew the locking knob (A)
(Fig. 7) and lift the upper feeding funnel off of the main
housing (Fig. 8). When the blockage has been removed,
put the feeding funnel back in place and make sure that
the locking knob has been tightened firmly. Connect the
plug with the mains supply and switch the machine on
again to continue shredding.
Warning: Particularly beware of touching the cutting
blades!
BLADE MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect the machine from the mains supply and
open the feeding funnel. Remove the lock nut (D) and
remove the feeding funnel (Fig. 8).
• Unscrew the eight safety screws (E) and remove the
cover plate of the cutting disc (Fig. 9).
• The blades may now be removed by loosening the two
hexagon socket screws (F) on each blade (Fig. 10).
• Proceed in reversed order to reassemble the cutting
disc. Tighten the blade screws very firmly!
Service and Care
Attention!
After
disconnect the machine from the mains and then
clean the shredder.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the shredder, always...
- switch off the machine.
- disconnect the machine from the mains.
- wait for the cutting blades to come to a standstill.
• The garden shredder is an electrical machine. There-
fore you must always ensure that no water gets inside
it! Penetrating water can damage the switch and plug
as well as the electric motor.
• Use a hand brush or cloth to remove shredder re-
mains from the machine.
• The garden shredder is virtually maintenance free,
except the cutting blades which are subject to normal
wear.
• Check each time before starting up whether all the
parts are securely fitted!
Transport and Storage
• Store your shredder in a dry room, and out of reach of
children.
Repair Service
Repairs to electrical tools may only be carried out by
skilled electricians.
If you send the machine to us for repair, please describe
the fault.
Attention! Electrical repairs may only be carried
out by a skilled electrician or a customer service
workshop!
Waste disposal and environmental protection
If your device should become useless somewhere in the
future or you do not need it any longer, do not dispose
of the device together with your domestic refuse, but dis-
pose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Please
dispose of the device itself at an according collecting/re-
cycling point. By doing so, plastic and metal parts can
be separated and recycled. Information concerning the
disposal of materials and devices are available from your
local administration.
