IMPORTANT
During the mulching process, constantly check the debris
is feeding into the large bucket. Do Not allow the bucket to
exceed 75% capacity with mulch as debris can be restricted
from entering the bucket past this point.
If the bucket becomes full the mulch will back feed into
the machine and cause overloading. Refer to the section
“ Clearing a jammed cutter .”
Composting
The processed material can be composted in various ways:
• The material can be placed in a heap directly on the
ground (cold composting).
• The material can be placed in a plastic container,
wooden crate, skeleton container or similar (cold
composting).
• The material can be placed in an insulated compost
holder. The heat is then held for longer and the rotting
process also continues during the winter. This method
produces faster results (warm composting).
• The material can be spread directly onto the garden
(surface composting).
Clearing a jammed cutter
In the event the cutter is jammed with a branch or similar
material, or where the outlet has been blocked with leaves
or chips (usually when the bin has not been emptied) the
following steps should be taken to clear the blockage.
1. Disconnect the shredder from the mains 240V electricity
supply.
2. It is STRONGLY
recommended to wear
protective gloves before
proceeding. The cutters
inside this machine are very
sharp and contact with the
cutters can cause injury
3. Fully loosen the top cover
locking knob.
4. Roll back the top cover
exposing the cutter disc.
5. Remove any jammed
branches jamming the
cutter.
6. Check the exit chute. This
must be clear of leaves
or shredded matter so the
shredded matter can drop
into the bin.
7. After clearing debris hinge close the top cover and locate
and tighten the top cover locking knob.
8. Re connect the shredder to the mains supply and start
the shredder.
Cleaning and changing the blades
Always clean the shredder after each use.
WARNING. Never use a high-pressure washer or running
water when cleaning the shredder!
Brush away dirt and plant residue which may be caught
in the cutter. Wipe clean the outside of the shredder with
a cloth which has been moistened with a mild detergent
and water.
On occasion the build up of chippings need to be cleaned.
Turn off the shredder and Disconnect the shredder from the
mains 240V electricity supply.
Follow the steps details in the section, “clearing a jammed
cutter” to open the top cover of the shredder.
Using a brush, clean out and debris, or remove any
branches in the cutter or chute area.
Inspect the cutters and ensure the blades are in good
condition and the blade bolts are tight.
If storing the shredder after use, a fine spray of oil on the
cutters and the cutter disc is advisable.
Should the blades need replacement or turning follow the
steps below and use the Hex Key supplied to remove the
blades.
