CAUTION:
this owners manual before using your
Shredder. Failure to comply can result in acci-
dents involving fire, electric shock, or serious
personal injury.
1. Connect the shredder to a suitable power outlet.
2. To start and stop the shredder, depress the switch locat-
ed at the rear of the Motor.
3. To stop the shredder, switch to the off position. (Fig .8)
OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND MOTOR
JAMMING If overfeeding clogs the machine the overload
protection switch may cut out the motor. To restart, first
switch the machine off and disconnect the power cord.
Loosen caging knobs and remove top cover assembly,
then remove any clogged debris from the cutting cham-
ber. If the top cover assembly becomes jammed and will
not lift off, turn the V-cutter by pushing a piece of wood
through the back chute of the top hopper to rotate the V-
cutter to enable the top cover assembly to be removed.
Reset motor overload protection switch. (Fig. 8)
IMPORTANT: Before replacing top cover assembly
ensure that the V-cutter is positioned as shown in Fig. 9.
Replace the top cover assembly together with the top
cover screw knob ensuring this is tight. If the top cover
screw knob is not tight the motor will not start due to the
motor lock out switch not being activated.
ATTACHING MULCH BAG
Place a heavy duty trash bag on to the discharge chute
using the mulch bag strap. (Fig.10)
FEEDING LEAVES AND SMALL GARDEN
CLIPPINGS - TOP HOPPER
The sloping chute of the top hopper is designed to accept
leaves and small garden clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved by natural suction of
the debris through the blade chamber. Do not overfeed and
do not feed wet, soggy material into the garden shredder as
this may clog the blade chamber and the discharge chute.
