3. DIRECTION
4. PLATE ADJUSTMENT
0.50 mm
The shredder operates by using a rolling cutter head, the cutter head
rotates and pulls the material past a metal cutting plate which grinds
and cuts the material.
The cutter head and cutting plate are perfectly adjusted at the factory.
Only if it suffers wear does the plate require adjustment (switch the
machine on for this purpose).
To ensure the best possible results from your shredder, the gap
between the cutter head and cutting plate should be approx. 0.50mm.
There is an adjustment device on the right-hand side of the plastic
housing for this purpose. Turn the knob clockwise so that the screw
moves towards the shredding cutter head. After a half turn the cutting
plate will have moved 0.50mm closer to the shredding cutter head.
After completing this adjustment check whether the cutter head
produces the desired results.
IMPORTANT:
IF THE SHREDDING BLADE TOUCHES THE PLATE,
IT WILL CUT IT AND SMALL METAL CHIPS MAY FALL OUT
OF THE DISCHARGE OPENING. THIS IS NOT A FAULT, BUT IT
MUST ONLY BE ADJUSTED AS MUCH AS NECESSARY SINCE
OTHERWISE THE PLATE WILL SUFFER PREMATURE WEAR.
Direction Control Switch
Position (down arrow)
The material is automatically
drawn in by the blade and
shredded.
Note:
If the switch for selecting the direction of rotation is in its
centre position, the motor will not start.
Large items or pieces of wood will be discharged both in the cutting
and in the release direction after the blade has been started and
reversed several times
Motor Protection
An overload (for example if the
blade is jammed) will cause the
machine to cut out after a few
seconds. To protect the motor
from damage the motor protection
switch stops the power supply
automatically. Wait for at least one
minute before you press the reset
button so that you can restart the
machine.
Then press the ON/OFF switch.
If the blade becomes jammed, turn the switch for selecting the
direction of rotation to the “up” position before you switch on the
shredder again.
IMPORTANT:
THE SWITCH FOR SELECTING THE DIRECTION
OF ROTATION CAN ONLY BE MOVED WHEN THE SHREDDER
IS SWITCHED OFF
Position (up arrow)
The blade rotates in the opposite
direction to release jammed
material. After moving the selector
switch to the “up” position, press
and hold the green knob of the
ON/OFF switch. The blade will
start to rotate in the opposite
direction. As soon as you release
the ON/OFF switch, the shredder
will stop automatically.
IMPORTANT:
THE ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE SHREDDER HAS
REACHED A STANDSTILL BEFORE YOU SWITCH IT ON AGAIN
