9.6.3. While working
Caution: Always wear personal protective equipment. (Safety goggles, gloves,
hearing protectors, safety footwear, etc.)
• Be very attentive while working. While operating the machine, you must focus all of your at-
tention on it.
• Start the engine. (see Section 9.4, page 29)
• Allow the machine to run empty for at least 5 minutes so that it heats up.
For your information: When shredding at temperatures around freezing, you
will have to ensure that you are shredding branches with a maximum diameter
of 50 mm - 2”.
For your information: Always shred at full throttle. This will ensure optimal
performance.
9.6.4. Operating the feed roller
In order to simplify operating the feed roller, we have opted for a clear and comprehensible
system that requires you to move the handle, as depicted below.
• Pulling on the handle (see the image below) will cause the feed roller to start moving, drawing
the material to be shredded into the feeding hopper at a constant speed. If you push the handle
forward once, the feed roller will stop. If you push on the handle a second time, the feed roller
will move in the opposite direction and move the material out of the feed hopper.
• The feeding position (IN) is a fixed position.
• The stop position of the feed roller (STOP) is also a fixed position.
• The backflow position (OUT) is a variable position. The handle will automatically return to the
stop position. In order to continue the backflow of material, you will need to continuously push
on the handle.
