The rotational direction switch 2 must be turned to
the right. The feed intake 10 must be empty (see
figure ).
Starting:
Set the on/off switch 1 to “I”.
Stopping:
Set the on/off switch 1 to “O”.
The motor will coast after switching off!
Restart Protection
A mains failure causes the on/off switch 1 to return
to the “0” position. The machine cannot restart on
its own when the power returns.
Rotational direction switch 2
(see figure
)
Before switching the rotational direction, always
switch the machine off and wait until it stops.
Right position: The cutting roller pulls in and shreds
the material.
Left position: The cutting roller runs backward and
frees jammed material.
Overload Protection
Overloading (e. g. blocking of the cutting roller)
causes the machine to stop after a few seconds. The
on/off switch 1 springs to the “0” position. Switch
the rotational direction switch 2 to the left position
(backwards) and after a short period restart the ma-
chine.
Always wear eye protection and wear gloves
during use.
To collect the shredded material, hang the carrying
straps of the collection sack 5 on the hooks 9 on
both sides of the machine.
Insert the material to be shredded. The material will
be fed by the cutter roller 13 without further assist-
ance.
Longer material standing out from the ma-
chine could lash out when being pulled in
by the knives! Please keep at safe dis-
tance!
Only insert as much material so that the feed in-
take 10 will not be blocked up.
Shred withered, moist material and garden waste
which has been stored for some days alternately
with branches.
This prevents the cutting roller 13 from clogging.
Do not fill soft waste such as kitchen rubbish into the
shredder but compost directly.
Take care that the shredded material can fall freely
from the discharge chute 6 – danger of backing up!
The ventilation slots must not be covered by the col-
lecting bag or the shredded material.
Avoid blocking the discharge chute 6 with shredded
material as this could result in kickback of material
through the feed intake opening.
Branches become harder to shred depending on the
type, age and dryness of the wood.
For best results, shred fresh branches soon after
they have been cut.
Soft garden waste should be shredded in smaller
loads, particularly when wet. Any blockages can be
avoided by intermittently shredding branches.
The pressure plate 12 is factory adjusted and does
not require adjustment before the first use.
Adjustment of the pressure plate 12 is necessary as
a result of wear (shredded material, e. g. branches,
hangs together as a chain and is not properly cut
through):
Place the rotational direction switch 2 in the position
to the right and switch on the machine.
With the motor running, turn the adjustment knob 8
(if necessary, using the Allen key 7) one notch to the
right (clockwise direction) until a light grinding sound
can be heard (the cutting roller 13 cuts the pressure
plate 12 to the proper clearance, and some small
aluminium shavings fall out of the ejection chute 6).
Readjust only to the required extent, otherwise the
pressure plate 12 could wear unnecessarily.
Before switching the rotational direction,
always switch the machine off and wait un-
til it stops.
The material to be shredded is not pulled in:
■
The cutting roller 13 is running backward: Switch
rotational direction.
■
The material to be shredded is soft and wet: Push
into machine with a piece of wood or change to
shredding branches.
■
The material to be shredded jams in the feed
opening 10: Place rotational direction switch 2 in
the left position to free the material.
