WARNING!
Risk of injury due to revolving tools!
Revolving tools can cause severe hand
and finger injuries!
When working on the cutting tool, discon-
nect the machine from the mains con-
nection and wait for the tool to stop mo-
ving.
Readjusting the counterplate
To obtain an optimum shredding result and
prevent damage to the blade unit (7/3), the coun-
terplate (7/2) must be readjusted at regular inter-
vals.
The counterplate must also be adjusted, if so-cal-
led interlinkage occurs.
With the motor running:
1. Turn adjusting screw (7/1) 1/6 revolution to
the right (clockwise), until a slight friction
noise can be heard and fine aluminium chips
fall from the ejector chute for a short period
of time.
2. Now, the materials to be shredded should be
fully cut again.
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. Empty the grass catcher.
3. 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 drum.
Principally, only feed materials to be shred-
ded after the machine was switched on.
Feed materials to be shredded are automati-
cally pulled in.
Only feed as much materials to be shredded
to ensure that hopper and feed chute do not
clog.
Empty the grass catcher on a regular base,
as overfilling can cause materials backing up
in the cutting drum.
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.
