Shredding operation
Check the machine before each use for:
–
loose screws and nuts
–
damaged rubber flap in the infeed chute,
replace if necessary
–
function of the safety circuit
–
properly fitted protective devices and their
protective position
–
engine oil level
–
cracks in the cladding sheets and / or loose
weld seams
–
rotor damage or breakage
Wear tight-fitting clothing and personal protective
equipment (PPE)
–
Always work on a stable, level ground. Secure
the machine against unintentional rolling away
(wheel chocks). Do not operate the machine
when it is on a slope.
–
Do not use the machines without the two
wheels and the support foot being mounted.
–
The working position is located to the side of
the infeed chute of the machine. Never stand
in the area of the ejection chute.
–
Never use a step ladder or other elevations to
feed cuttings into the chute.
–
Never reach into infeed or ejection openings.
–
Keep face and body away from the infeed
opening. Keep a sufficient distance!
–
Do not place hands, other body parts, or
clothing in the infeed chute or ejection chute
or near other moving parts.
–
Attention! Keep a safe distance when
shredding, do not lean too far forward. Longer
shredded material protruding from the chute
can bounce back when being pulled in by the
blades.
–
Before each engine start, check that there are
no shredding residues in the chute.
–
Shredding may only be carried out after the
maximum engine speed has been reached.
–
Never tilt the machine while the engine is
running.
–
When charging, make sure that no foreign
objects such as nails, wires, stones and the like
get into the infeed chute.
In the case of blockages:
Switch off the engine and remove the spark plug
connector for safety reasons!
–
Only
remove
shredded
material
lying
crosswise in the chute when the engine is
switched off and the blade drum is at a
standstill. Only use another twig or piece of
wood to remove it.
–
In the event of blockages in the infeed and
ejector of the machine, unusual noises or
vibrations, switch off the engine immediately.
Disconnect the spark plug connector and wait
for the tools to stop. Faults must be rectified
immediately.
–
Never leave the running machine.
–
When replacing the blades and the counter
blade, stop the engine and disconnect the
spark plug connector. After one hour of use,
check that all screws and nuts are tight.
–
Repairs may only be carried out by an
approved service centre or our service team.
