Composting tips
The shredded material can be composted in many various ways:
¥
The material can be placed in a heap directly on the ground (cold
composting).
¥
The material can be placed in a plastic container, wooden crate,
skeleton container or similar (cold composting).
¥
The material can be placed in an insulated compost holder. The
heat is then maintained for longer periods and the rotting process
continues during the winter. This method produces faster results
(warm composting).
¥
The material can be spread directly onto the garden (surface
composting).
WARNING!:
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE
SHREDDER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
WARNING!:
NEVER USE A HIGH-PRESSURE
WASHER OR RUNNING WATER WHEN CLEANING
THE SHREDDER!
WARNING!:
ALWAYS USE A DUST MASK AND
SAFETY GLOVES WHEN HANDLING COMPOSTED
MATERIAL TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION FROM
MICRO ORGANISMS.
The shredder requires very little maintenance. In order to maintain the
efficiency of the machine and achieve a long service life observe the
following:
¥
Keep the air openings clean and free of obstructing material.
¥
Periodically check that all nuts and screws are secure.
¥
Spray the rolling cutter head after each use with a spray lubricant to
protect against corrosion.
¥
Always clean the shredder after each use. Brush away dirt and plant
residue which may be caught in the roller cutter. Wipe clean the
outside of the shredder with a cloth which has been moistened with a
mild detergent and water.
¥
Store the shredder upright in a dry place.

Cleaning
Always clean the shredder after each use.
Brush away dirt and plant residue which may be caught in the rolling
cutter blade. Wipe clean the outside of the shredder with a cloth which
has been moistened with a mild detergent and water.
Mulching palm fronds
The shredder can shred palm
fronds, reducing them to an easily
disposable waste.
If the head of the palm frond is
particularly large or hard it will
need to be removed before being
inserted into the shredder.
If the material is very hard the
cutting adjustment bolt may need to
be adjusted as described in “
Prior
to operation
” and run through
the shredder once to soften it.
Retighten the cutting adjustment
bolt and insert the material a
second time to effectively shred it.
