Warning:
Although the machine has been designed to stop material kickback there is a risk
of chippings being projected through the feeding hopper. The danger is the high-
est when stripped branches with a diameter > 70 mm are inserted. When the feed
roller exerts a gripping tension and lifts itself on the branch, an opening is created
under the feed roller along which chippings can fl y out of the shredding chamber.
Be careful and ensure that you are standing next to the hopper at this time.
Caution:
If you notice a strange noise during the work, immediately stop shredding. Stop
the engine and investigate the cause. Before proceeding, perform the necessary
repairs.
NOTE:
In an emergency situation or in a situation of uncertainty where you lose control over the
shredding process, you must push the control handle away from yourself to the farthest position.
9.6.1 Before starting work
The feeding hopper contains two synchronously operating feed arrangements:
a) Feed belt: This belt will assist in feeding small garden waste. The feed belt
drives the garden waste in the direction of the feed roller so that the operator
does not have to put his or her hands in the machine.
b) The feed roller: A driven roller that pushes the garden waste into the shred-
ding chamber.
• The black lever around the feed opening should be used to oper-
ate the feed arrangement. The lever has four switching positions:
1:
First position in the feed direction:
stop
2:
Second position in the feed direction:
feed
3:
Third position in the feed direction:
stop
4:
Furthest position in the feed direction:
reverse feed
NOTE:
A hydraulic valve controls the respective positions of the
control lever. It is important that you always hear or feel a click
when the control handle locks into its position. If you do not
exactly switch the lever, the functioning of the feed arrangement
will, on the one hand, not be optimal and, on the other hand, the
hydraulic oil may heat up too much. This may lead to faults or
failures in the hydraulic system.
