machine. Keep your hands away from the chuck and the
cutting lines when loading the machine.

WARNING!
Overloading the mulcher + shredder may
result in permanent damage to the motor. Always wear safety
glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask.
Adjusting the Mulch Adjustment Dial
The mulch adjustment dial regulates the particle size and
speed at which material passes through the unit. When the
control dial is set in the COARSE position, material will be
processed faster, but will yield a larger particle size than if the
dial were set to FINE. The FINE position setting will discharge
the material slower, but will yield the smallest particle reduction
ratio (up to 17 : 1). Use the special settings for pine needles,
grass clippings, and thatch as needed. For best results,
material should be shredded when dry (Fig. 13).

Overheating Protection
Your electric leaf mulcher + shredder is designed with
overheating protection. If the shredder is clogged during
shredding, the overheating protection will cut the power
automatically to protect your shredder. Wait at least 1 minute
before restarting the unit when the power is cut.
To restart the leaf mulcher + shredder, first flip the On/Off
switch down, before flipping it up to turn it on again.
Maintenance
m
ATTENTION!
Before performing any cleaning or
maintenance, turn off the unit and disconnect it from the power
supply. Wait until the unit stops completely.
Cleaning
1. Use a warm damp cloth and a soft brush to clean the
funnel cover and the funnel.
2. Never spray water on the mulcher + shredder motor or
wash it with water. Do not use detergents or solvents as
these could cause irreparable damage to your mulcher +
shredder.
3. Make sure the ventilation slots are always kept clean and
are free of debris.
4. Unlock the two latches and remove the funnel to clean the
inside of the unit.
5. Clear the chuck and the discharge area of any clumps or
debis using the clean-out tool. Remove any wood and that
may clog the cutting lines. Check the lines for damage.

spinning head. Before any maintenance or cleaning is done on
the trimmer lines, always turn the switch off and disconnect
