Unintentional restart proof
The machine switches off automatically when power failure
happens. To restart, push the green button again.
Overload protection
The motor is equipped with an overload protection. When
overloaded, the machine acts as follows:
-
The blade runs reverse for two or three seconds to
try to push the shredded material back out.
-
The blade runs forward again.
-
If the material is still clogged after this attempt
for three times, the machine stops with LED light
flickering in red.
When it happens perform the following steps:
-
Turn off the machine.
-
Wait until the blades stop completely.
-
Remove the clogged material.
-
Turn the shredder on again after about 5 minutes,
and feed easier material.
-
If you cannot turn on the machine after this waiting
time, refer to “Troubleshooting”.
Forward / Reverse switch
CAUTION:
Switch off the shredder before changing the forward /
reverse switch.
Position
ò
The blades rotate in forward direction.
Position
ñ
The blades rotate in reverse direction to release jammed
material.
When you change the direction into
ñ
(reverse), keep pushing the
green button of the power switch to rotate the blades. The shredder
automatically stops when you release the power switch.
NOTE:
•
Several repetitions of reverse and forward operations may be
required to shred a large object.
CAUTION:
• Always use a hook or a stick to remove jammed
objects to prevent accidents.
• Always wait until the shredder stops completely before
restart.
Retaining basket
CAUTION:
• Switch off and unplug the machine before attaching or
removing the retaining basket.
• Check the functionality of the interlock feature every
two hours for safe operation.
• Never attempt to override the interlock feature of
guarding.
Lock lever:
Upper position
Retaining basket is locked.
Lower position
Retaining basket is unlocked.
ATTENTION:
The machine will not start if the lock lever is in the
“unlock” position. The machine automatically stops if the
retaining basket is unlocked during operation.
Blade cover
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the machine is switched off and
unplugged before opening the blade cover.
• Wear protective gloves before opening the blade cover.
• The cutter does not stop immediately after switch off.
Wait until all the parts stop.
In case the material clogs badly in the upper enclosure, remove
them by opening the blade cover.
Operation
Set up the machine:
•
On a flat, horizontal surface. Do not place the machine on
paved or graveled ground.
•
With a safe distance (at least 2 m) away from walls or other
objects.
Before starting, make sure that:
•
The connection cables are not damaged. If there are cuts or
tears, stop operation and replace it immediately.
•
There is no damage on the machine, and all screws are tight.
•
The machine is assembled completely and correctly.
•
If required, adjust the cutting clearance according to the
instructions on page 8
•
The locking lever is in the “lock” position
Check the mains connection:
•
Make sure that the mains voltage matches the rated voltage on
the nameplate and the machine is properly earthed.
•
Use only extension cords with sufficient core cross-section.
The shredder can process following types of material:
•
All types of branches up to the maximum diameter of the
machine’s capacity, depending on type and condition of wood.
•
Garden refuse such as withered plants or wet weed which has
been laid some days (Feed them alternating with branches.)
The shredder can NOT process the following types of
material:
•
Glass, metal, plastic, stones, ceramics, thicker branches, hard
wood, thick wood plates, cloth, plastic bags, roots with soil.
•
Garbage which is almost liquid state, e.g. kitchen garbage.
Operation: (Fig. 8)
•
Feed the material into the filling hopper from the right side.
•
In case of branches, twigs and wood, shred them just after
they are cut. They may get very hard as they become dry.
•
Remove any side shoots from branches if they are not easy to
feed.
•
Turn off the motor and disconnect the machine from the mains
power supply before cleaning ejection opening.
•
Do not let the shredded material accumulate in ejection
opening. Otherwise shredded material may block the ejection
opening. Empty the retaining basket regularly.
•
Do not feed material which is more than the maximum branch
diameter specified in Technical data. Depending on the wood’s
