To begin using the Shredder:
1. Set the up / down switch (11)
of the cylinder to the
b
posi-
tion (Fig. D1) (normal work-
ing position of the cutting
cylinder).
2. Press the green button on the
main switch (12) to switch
on the Shredder. The cutting
cylinder starts.
Important!
Always wait until
the cutting cylinder has
stopped when changing
directions with the up / down
switch (11); otherwise the
cutting cylinder might not
change direction.
3. Now feed the material to be
cut into the feeding funnel (6)
(max. strength – see
“Technical Data”).
Note:
After the cutting tool
has taken hold of the material
to be chopped, it is automati-
cally pulled in (Fig. E).
A
Always wear gloves and
protective goggles when
working with the Shredder.
5.4 The cylinder is blocked ...
… if foreign bodies, too much
material to be cut or branches
which are too thick are caught
in the cylinder.
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the up/down switch (11)
to the
v
position (backwards)
( Fig. D 2). The Shredder
stops.
2. Press the green button on the
main switch (12) to switch on
the machine again. The cut-
ting cylinder turn in
v
posi-
tion and the material to be
cut is now released upwards.
5.5 If the material to be cut is
not released despite backwards
position (completely blocked), …
… then the internal cutting
plate (15) is to be removed from
the cutting cylinder as described
below:
1. Switch off the Shredder; press
the red button on the main
switch (12).
2. Pull the mains plug and wait
until the cutting cylinder stops.
3. Loosen the counter nut (14)
and turn the adjusting screw
(13) some rotations to the left,
in order to loosen the block-
age with the backwards posi-
tion
v
of the cutting cylinder:
4. a) If the material to be cut has
already been completely
pulled into
the Shredder,
then set the up / down
switch (11) to
v
position,
fig. D 2. Plug in the mains
plug into the mains and
press the green button of
the mains switch (12) to
switch on the Shredder.
If the material was released,
then put the up/down
switch (11) to position
b
(forward), fig. D 1, to
transport the material
downwards.
4. b) With
longer material to be
cut
, which is still sticking
out of the Shredder, set the
switch to the
v
position
(backwards). Press the
green button on the main
switch (12) to start the
shredder again. The
blocked material is now
released upwards. Remove
the released material from
the feeding funnel.
5. Set the up/down switch (11)
to normal
b
position.
6. If the cutting plate (15) was
loosened by a blockage,
it must be readjusted as
described in “Maintaining the
Cutting Device”.
5.6 If the direction of rotation
changes automatically, ...
… e.g. if the Shredder is sud-
denly blocked and the material
to be cut is released upwards,
then you should:
1. Switch off the Shredder by
pressing the red button on the
main switch (12).
Note:
Wait until the cutting
cylinder has stopped turning.
2. Switch the Shredder on again
by pressing the green button
on the main switch (12).
You can now continue to
work with the Shredder.
5.7 Blockage Protection is
Activated (Fig. E)
The Gloria Shredder is fitted
with a blockage protection.
If the motor is extremely over-
loaded, in particular if the cut-
ting cylinder is blocked, the
motor protection switch (16) is
activated. It switches the Shred-
der off after a blocking period
of approx. 8 – 12 seconds.
1. After the Shredder has
switched itself off automati-
cally due to the blockage pro-
tection function, wait for
approx. 5 minutes before
restarting the Shredder.
2. After this cooling period
time, press the motor protec-
tion (16). The Shredder may
now be turned on again.
5.8 Switching off the Shredder
To switch off the Shredder,
press the red button on the main
switch (12).
A
Warning! The cylinder
does not stop turning
immediately after the Shredder
has been switched off.
Danger of injury!
