Stopping the motor
To stop the shredder press the
On/ Off switch on the portion
of the switch marked O.
WARNING. Do not feed in any
material after the motor has
been stopped. This will get
caught in the machine and can
make restarting impossible.
Fitting the bucket
The bucket locates on the
underside of the shredder.
To fit the bucket, lift the bin
release catch and slide the
bucket in on the rails. To
fully locate the bucket, lift the
bin release catch again and
completely slide the bucket in
place.
To remove the bucket, lift the bin release catch and slide
the bucket out. To fully remove, the bin release catch needs
to be lifted to allow the bin to pass.
Overload protection
The shredder is equipped with a built-in motor protection
which prevents the motor being overloaded.
In the event of overloading,
the current is broken and
the main switch is turned off
automatically .
Disconnect shredder
from power supply before
attempting to unblock any
jams.
Allow at least 20 seconds for
the motor to cool down.
Push in the overload protection button (4) to re-set,
mains power can now be switched on.
Mulching
The following types of material can be shredded in the
shredder:
• Twigs and branches.
• Waste from cutting bushes.
• Waste from hedge-trimming.
Examples of materials which are not suitable for
shredding include:
• Glass, metal, plastic bags, stones, fabric,
earth covered roots.
• Waste that does not have a firm consistency,
e.g. kitchen waste.
• Soft leafy material. To prevent damage to the machine,
you are recommended not to exceed the following
maximum sizes of twigs and branches:
• 40mm in diameter.
The material that is to be shredded is fed into the inlet chute
(6) and, assuming it is not too bulky, in most cases will
be pulled down into the cutter and emptied either into the
bucketed provided or other suitable container.
Branches and twigs should be mulched shortly after being
cut. They become extremely hard when they dry out, and
the maximum diameter of what can be mulched is reduced.
Heavy material or twigs will jam the blades if you let the
machine cut continually. A large proportion of garden waste
contains a lot of water and therefore sticks easily. Such
material should be allowed to dry for a few days before
being processed.
Check all the material you want to shred carefully. Make
sure it doesn’t contain any stones or nails as this might
severely damage the shredder.
Be aware of vibrations. Heavy vibrations are caused by
damaged or worn out blades. Store the shredder indoors in
a dry place.
