Overload protection
1. The shredder is equipped with a built-in motor protection,
which prevents the motor being overloaded. In the event of
overloading, the current is broken and the main switch is
turned off automatically.
2. Disconnect shredder from power supply before attempting to
unblock any jams.
note:
Allow at least 5 minutes for the motor to cool down.
3. Push in the overload protection button to reset, mains power
can now be switched on. If the cutting blades are jammed
turn the rotation direction switch to position, before switching
the shredder back on again, to clear any clogged material.
Mulching
The following types of material can be mulched in the shredder:
• Twigs and branches.
• Waste from cutting bushes.
• Waste from hedge-trimming.
Examples of materials which are not suitable for mulching include:
• Glass, metal, plastic bags, stones, fabric, earth covered roots.
• Waste that does not have a firm consistency, e.g. kitchen
waste.
• Soft Leafy material.
To prevent damage to the machine, you are recommended not
to exceed the following maximum sizes of twigs and branches:
• 45 mm in diameter.
The material that is to be mulched is fed into the inlet chute and,
assuming it is not too bulky, automatically pulled down through
the slowly rotating spiral cutter to the blades. Branches and
twigs should be mulched shortly after being cut. They become
extremely hard when they dry out, and the maximum diameter of
what can be mulched is reduced. Heavy material or twigs will jam
the blades if you let the machine cut continually. A large
proportion of garden waste contains a lot of water and therefore
sticks easily. Such material should be allowed to dry for a few
days before being processed.
