9. OPERATION
Place the material into the funnel from the right side.
Shred branches immediately after they are cut. When they dry out, they may become very hard.
Remove all lateral shoots from the branches if it is not possible to insert them into the shredder.
Avoid too much shredded material from accumulating in the collection box. Regularly empty the box
because accumulated shredded material may block the ejection chute.
Do not insert material that is larger than the maximum branch diameter specified in the technical
specifications.
Shredding wet garden waste (fallen leaves) will result in clogging. To prevent clogging, alternate the waste
with material containing wood.
Soft materials or wet branches may be torn instead of being cut. This problem may also be caused by
a worn out counter-blade.
Before cleaning out the ejection chute, turn off the motor and disconnect the machine from the power supply.
10. MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION:
Prior to inspecting or performing maintenance on the machine, check that it is turned off and disconnected
from the power supply. Be careful, the cutting roller will not stop immediately after the machine is turned off,
wait for all the parts to stop moving.
Put on protective gloves before inspection or carrying out maintenance.
Never use petrol, thinners, alcohol, etc. for cleaning. This could result in discolouration, deformation or
cracking.
Only use a damp cloth and soft brush for cleaning the machine.
Do not use a hose or wash the machine with pressurised water.
After every work session, carry out the following maintenance:
Check that all fastening screws and bolts are tightened (tighten them if necessary).
Lubricate metal components to protect against corrosion.
Maintain holes clean and free of dust.
The cutting roller and counter-blade wear out over time. If necessary, inform yourself about replacement at
you nearest authorised service centre.
