Proper usage
This shredder has been designed for cutting fibrous and
woody garden waste for the purpose of compositing.
Always use the correct supply voltage
The power supply voltage must match the information
quoted on your shredder's identification plate. Shredders
with a rating of 230 V can only be connected to a 230 V
mains supply.
The shredder shall be supplied via a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than
30mA
An extension cable with a cross section that is too small
causes a distinct reduction in the performance
capabilities of the machine. For cables up to 25 m in
length, a cross section of at least 3 x 1.5 mm
2
is required;
for cables more than 25 m in length, the cross section
must be at least 2.5 mm
2
.
Training
Become familiar with the manufacturer's manual before
attempting to operate this equipment.
Controls
On/off switch
Press the green button to switch on the shredder.
Press the red button to switch it off.
Note: This machine is equipped with an electromagnetic
switch to prevent it from being unexpectedly switched on
when power source recovered.
Reversing switch
Caution! The reversing switch can only be operated
when the shredder is switched off.
Position A
(Fig. 1.A)
The reversing switch has been set to position A. The
chopping knife will pull in the material and chop it. The
switch is set to position A after the manufacturer's test.
Position B
(Fig. 1.B)
When the chopping knife is jammed so that the motor
cannot keep running, first press the red button of the
on/off switch to stop the motor. Then completely turn the
reversing switch to left position B and press the on/off
switch (the green button). Keep the green button of the
on/off switch pressed, the chopping knife will rotate into
the reverse direction and release the material to enable
you to remove it. When you release the on/off switch the
shredder will stop automatically.
Overload protection
Overload (e.g. blocking up of the chopping knife) will lead
to a standstill of the machine after a few seconds. To
protect the motor from getting damaged, the overload
switch will automatically cut off the mains supply.
Wait at least 1 minute before restarting by first pressing
the reset button and then the on/off switch.
If the chopping knife is blocked turn the reversing switch
to left position B before switching on the shredder again.
Disassembling
For certain purposes, e.g. storage after use, etc, you
can disassemble the shredder in the reverse order as
described under "Assembling
Operation instructions
Warning
Before starting the machine, look into the feeding
chamber to make sure that it is empty.
1.
Keep your face and body away from the feed intake
opening.
2.
Do not allow your hands or any other part of your
body or your clothing to get inside the feeding
chamber, discharge chute, or near any moving part.
3.
Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not
overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the
base of the machine when feeding material into it.
4.
Always keep the discharge zone clear when
operating this machine;
5.
When feeding material into the machine be
extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, tins or other foreign objects are not
included.
6.
If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects,
or if the machine should start making any unusual
noise or vibration, shut off the motor and allow the
machine to stop. Unplug the connection cable (to
disconnect the electric unit from the power supply)
and take the following steps:
d)
inspect for damage;
e)
check for and tighten any loose parts;
f)
have any damaged parts replaced or repaired
with parts having equivalent specifications.
7.
Do not allow processed material to build up in the
discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge
and can result in kickback of material through the
feed intake opening.
8.
If the machine becomes clogged, shut off the motor
and unplug the connection cable (to disconnect the
electric unit from the power supply) before clearing
any debris. Keep the motor (ventilation slots) clear
of debris and other accumulations to prevent
damage to the motor or possible fire.
9.
Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good
working condition.
10. Do not transport this machine while the motor is
running.
11. Shut off the motor and unplug the connection cable
(to disconnect the electric unit from the power
supply) whenever you leave the work area.
12. Do not tilt the machine while the motor is running.
13. When using the device the collection box must be
securely in position and the safety switch is locked.
Feeding
Feed the material to be chopped into the right side of the
feeding tunnel. The material is automatically pulled in by
the chopping knife.
Caution! Longer material standing out from the
machine could lash out when being pulled in by the
chopping knife! Keep a safety distance!
Warning! Always use the pusher (Fig.11) if you try to
push the material into the feeding tunnel. Do not use
your hands directly! Keep the pusher well after use.
Only insert as much material as will not block up the
feeding tunnel.
Chop garden waste that has been stored for some days
and is wilted and damp alternately with branches.
