8. Finally, attach and screw the upper shredder
part tight.
Care
Remove dirt and material residues after every
use.
Do not clean the machine with running water
or high-pressure.
Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
Use a soft brush or cloth for cleaning.
STORAGE
Clean the shredder after its use. Store it in a dry,
lockable place out of the reach of children.
Perform the following tasks when storing during
the winder period:
1. Switch off the machine and disconnect from
the mains connection.
2. Wait for the cutting disk to stop moving.
3. Unscrew locking screw (9/1) and remove up-
per shredder part (9/2).
4. Remove coarse and wet materials to be
shredded from the inside of the shredder.
5. Spay oily care spray ( e.g. AL-KO Multispray
art no. 112890) onto the shredder blade
(10/3).
6. Empty the grass catcher.
7. Finally, attach and screw the upper shredder
part (9/2) tight again.
8. Store the shredder vertically.
WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND WORKING
TECHNIQUE
The shredder is only partly suitable for shred-
ding soft, very juicy waste (e.g. pome fruits,
wet plant waste). These materials should be
directly composted, as they quickly compact
themselves.

The shredder is best suitable for shredding
long-stem, hard or already dried stems of
flowers, shrubs, bushes and pruning.
Shred branches shortly after cutting to
achieve optimum results.
Soft materials to be shredded should always
be processed alternating with branches to
prevent clogging of the cutting disk.
Principally, only feed materials to be shred-
ded after the machine was switched on.
Feed materials to be shredded are pulled
in. Forcefully push against thicker branches,
otherwise the motor will be overloaded.
Only feed as much materials to be shredded
to ensure that hopper and upper shredder
part do not clog.
Empty the grass catcher on a regular base,
as overfilling can cause materials backing up
in the cutting unit.
Refer to "Transporting the shredder" for mo-
ving the shredder to a new location.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to ejected parts!
Ejected plant parts can cause severe in-
juries!
Always wear personal protective equip-
ment when working with the shredder.
DANGER!
Risk of injury and damage to the ma-
chine if used other than according to the
designated use!
Ejected parts can cause most severe in-
juries!
Do not feed stones, soil, glass, textiles,
plastic or metal parts into the machine.
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury due to inadvertent
movement!
Inadvertent movements can lead to ex-
tremely serious injuries!
Do not reach into the hopper or ejector
chute, while the machine is connected to
mains.
