• When feeding green waste into the machine, the operator should never, under any circumstan-
ces, place their hands beyond the anti-projection shield.
• Never push jammed waste into the hopper with your foot.
• If the emergency safety bar has been pushed, the feed roller will stop. It cannot be restarted
until the bar has first been reset below the hopper.
• This also applies to the emergency stop button: Once it has been pushed, the feed roller can
no longer be controlled without first having reset the emergency stop button by turning it and
pulling it up at the same time.
Caution: Do not lean over the feeding hopper to push material into it, in order
to prevent yourself from EVER placing your hands into the machine beyond the
anti-projectile shield.
• You will obtain quicker results by reducing the amount of material that you feed into the ma-
chine.
• In the case of branches, it is recommended to feed in the thickest part of the branch first.
• If possible, wet, soft and/or leafy pruning waste should be alternated as much as possible with
woody material. The idea is to prevent the wet stuff from clogging the shredding chamber. If
wood chips are no longer being ejected, this indicates a blockage.
• Immediately push on the feeding handle and hold it in the backflow position (OUT) to force the
wood chips in the shredding chamber to be ejected into the feeding hopper.
• Then turn off the machine. Open the shredding chamber and remove the wood chips.
Caution: Always wear protective gloves. You risk cutting your hands on the
blades.
• Check the blow chute and unclog it completely if necessary.
Caution: Thick branches that have been sawn at both ends must be fed in from
the left side of the hopper so that they are guided in by the side of the hopper.
Make sure that branches do not turn diagonally to the in-feed direction, as this
can block the machine.
