OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL SHREDDER
EN Operation
Overload protection (motor circuitbreaker)
The motor is protected from overloads by an overload switch.
During operation the control pin projects out of the overload switch housing by around 4 mm.
If the motor is overloaded for a lengthy period, the overload switch (Fig. 1/Item 10) will trip and
switch off the machine. In this case the pin on the overload switch will project out of the housing
by around 8 mm and the ON/OFF switch will automatically move to “0”. After waiting for at least
1 minute the control pin in the overload switch can be pressed and the ON/OFF switch then
switched on again (switch position “I”).
If the motor fails to start, clean the ejector chute.
Practical tips
Be sure to observe the safety instructions (see supplied booklet).
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
The material is drawn into the shredder automatically.
ATTENTION!
Long pieces of material projecting out of the funnel inlet may whiplash when it
is drawn in – keep a safe distance between yourself and the machine.
Judge the quantity of material which you put into the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not
clog.
If you want to shred withered, damp material that has been lying in the garden for several
days, alternate between putting in this material and branches. This will help to prevent the
loading funnel becoming clogged with material.
Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) – put it straight in the compost box.
Entangled branches and leaves should be tho roughly shredded before loading any more
material.
Do not allow the discharge opening to become clogged with shredded material – risk of pile
ups.
Do not cover the ventilation slits.
Do not place heavy material or thick branches into the machine continuously. This may cause
the blade to jam.
Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed objects from the funnel or discharge openings.
Cleaning the ejector chute
Always wear heavy duty working gloves
Ensure that the switch is set to the “0” position
Disconnect the coupling on the machine connection cable (extension) from the machine
plug.
Unscrew the safety screw (Figure 1/Item 12) and then pull up the loading funnel (Figure 11).
