HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
8. HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
Get well familiar with the user’s manual and the machine itself before use.
Before any intervention in the machine, stop the machine, unplug the power cord and make sure that all
moving parts have come to a full stop.
First thoroughly inspect the material you are about the process. Remove all foreign object that could be
thrown out / be jammed in the machine during processing. Remove soil from the roots. Do not insert
foreign objects such as stones, glass, metals, fi bres or plastics in the hopper! This would cause damage to
the shredding knives.
Always place machine on an even and stable surface. Do not lean or make unnecessary movements while
your operate the machine.
Do not insert the material to be processed by shredding in the hopper until the shredding
mechanism’s rotating knives have reached their maximum speed.
Use the machine to shred only the following material:
- Twigs and limbs (with a maximum diameter of 40mm)
- Bush pruning debris
- Hedge pruning debris
- Plant residues and other garden debris
- Leaves and plant roots (remove soil from the roots before shredding)
Do not insert soft kitchen biowaste in the machine and compost it instead.
If the material to be processed is not excessively large, insert it in the hopper corner. It will be pulled inside
by the knives.
Fill the hopper to a reasonable level to avoid clogging and blocking.
ATTENTION! You may be hit by longer oblong material pieces while being pulled into the shredding
mechanism. Thus, keep away from the hopper!
Make sure that the shredded material could freely exit the spout.
In order to improve the composting usage, you can process the material twice in the shredder.
Avoid situation when the material is gathering under the spout so much as to reach the shredding
mechanism level. This would lead to blocking the knives and also the hopper.
Organic materials contain large amount of water and sap that may get stuck on / clog the equipment.
Therefore, it’s useful to have the material dried a couple of days before processing. However, the above is
not applicable for bigger limbs that are optimally process in fresh condition.
If the knives stop while the shredding is in progress, immediately stop the shredder. Then unplug it from the
mains and only then start investigating the problem cause.
Remove all processed material residues from the knife edges; then inspect the knives carefully to make
sure they are not damaged. Only then continue with the shredding.
If the edge stops for more than 5 seconds, the machine will be shut off by the overvoltage switch. Before
turning the machine back on, wait at least one minute and let the machine cool down. Then press the
overvoltage switch fi rst and then press the mains switch (On/Off) to restart the machine.
If there is a collision between the shredding mechanism edge and a foreign object or if you hear the
machine make unusual noise or abnormal vibrations, turn it immediately off and wait until the edge stops
and remains at standstill. Unplug the power cord and proceed as follows:
- Check for damage.
