7.1 Maintenance
General Information
Maintenance and repairs, espe-
cially those that require to
remove the safety devices, may
only be carried out by Gloria
Service centres or dealers autho-
rised by Gloria.
A
The Shredder must only be
maintained and cleaned
and the safety devices may only
be removed after the motor has
been turned off, the cylinder has
stopped moving, and the mains
plug has been removed from the
socket. Wear protective gloves
to avoid injuries.
Maintenance includes work
which keeps the Shredder in full
working order. Checking the
Shredder regularly (checking
that screws are tight, checking
for cracks and damage) and
changing damaged and worn
parts, helps prevent accidents
and the Shredder breaking down.
Ensure that all nuts, bolts and
screws are tight and that the
mower is in good working order.
For safety reasons, allow all
worn out and damaged parts to
be exchanged by Gloria service
or authorised specialist dealers.
Maintaining the Cutting Device
(Fig, C1)
The cutting plate (15) is factory
pre-set subject to natural wear.
To prevent damage to the cylin-
der, the cutting plate must be
adjusted as soon as the material
being chopped is not completed
severed:
1.
While the motor is running
,
(green button on the main
switch (12) is pressed –
up/down switch is in
b
posi-
tion), loosen the counter nut
(14) using the fork wrench
(10/13 mm) and
2.
carefully
turn the adjusting
screw (13) by hand to the
right until you can hear
a slight grinding noise and
until fine aluminium shavings
fall
briefly
from the ejection
channel.
Important!
Never adjust when
In
v
position.
3. Re-tighten the counter nut.
The material being chopped
is now severed completely.
If the adjusting screw stops
(may not be turned to the
right), then the cutting plate
is to be replaced by the
Gloria Service.
7.2 Cleaning and Care
A
The Shredder must only be
cleaned and cared for
after the motor has been turned
off, when the cylinder has
stopped turning and the mains
plug has been removed from the
socket. To prevent injuries
always wear protective gloves.
7. Maintenance, Care, Storage
6.1 Notes on Safety
A
The Shredder must be
assembled correctly before
the motor is turned on. If you
leave the Shredder unattended,
the motor must be switched off
and the mains plug must be
removed from the socket.
A
If the Shredder is moved ill
to another place, the motor
must be turned off and the mains
plug must be removed from the
socket. Wait until the cutting
cylinder has stopped moving.
A
Always wear gloves and ill
safety goggles when you
are working with the Shredder.
A
Never stand at a higher
ill level than the base of
the machine when feeding mate-
rial into the feeding funnel.
6.2 Special Information Regard-
ing Working with the Shredder
The suitability of Gloria Shred-
ders for cutting garden waste
which is soft and contains large
amounts of sap (e. g. pomaceous
fruit, wet plant waste)
is limited
.
This material should be com-
posted directly. Otherwise, when
cutting the waste mentioned
above, amass is created which
is impermeable to air, which
leads to rotting and unpleasant
smells which have a negative
effect on a good compost heap.
Gloria Shredders
are suitable
for
cutting long, hard or dried out
flower stalks, herbaceous plants,
bushes, shrubs and tree cuttings.
If the feeding funnell cutting
cylinder becomes blocked
,
e. g. due to an excess of wet
material the blockage can usu-
ally be rectified by inserting
branches which you wish to cut
into the Shredder. Wet material
should therefore always be
chopped in the Shredder fol-
lowed by branches.
A
collecting container
(e. g. sack
or box etc.)
must be emptied
regularly
to prevent the chopped
material blocking the cutting
cylinder if the container is over-
full.
