b) Check for and tighten any loose parts;
c) Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent specifications.
7- Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper
discharge and can result in kickback of material through the feed intake opening.
8- If the machine becomes clogged, shut off the motor and unplug the connection cable (to
disconnect the electric unit from the mains power supply) before clearing any debris.
Keep the motor (ventilation slots) clear of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the
motor or possible fire.
9- Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition.
10- Do not transport this machine while the motor is running. Do not tilt the machine while the
motor is running
11- Shut off the motor and unplug the connection cable (to disconnect the electric unit from the
mains power supply) whenever you leave the work area.
12- Only operate the machine in an open space (e.g. not close to a wall or to any other fixed object)
and on a firm, level surface.
13- Do not operate the machine on a paved or gravel surface where ejected material could cause
injuries.
14- Replace damaged or unreadable labels.
5.3- Operation
5.3.1- Positioning and moving
- The shredder must be placed on solid, smooth and even ground during operation.
- Caution! Do not move the machine before you have disconnected it from the mains supply.
5.3.2- Feeding
Wear protective gloves.
Feed the material to be chopped into the right side of the feeding tunnel
The material is automatically pulled in by the chopping knife.
Caution! Longer material standing out from the machine could lash out when being pulled in by the
chopping knife! Keep a safety distance!
Warning! Always use the pusher if you try to push the material into the feeding tunnel.
Do not use your hands directly! Keep the pusher well after use.
Only insert as much material as will not block up the feeding tunnel.
Chop garden waste that has been stored for some days and is wilted and damp alternately with
branches. This will prevent the chopping knife from getting blocked up.
Do not fill into the shredder any soft material such as kitchen waste instead of compositing it.
Widely branched material with leaves must be completely chopped before any new material is fed
in.
Take care that the chopped material can freely fall from the discharge chute – danger of backing up!
The ventilation slots must not be covered by the waste bag (not included) or the chopped material.
5.3.3- Adjusting the counter knife (Fig.4)
Counter knife B can be set from 0 to
0.50 mm away from chopping knife
A.
This distance should be kept to
achieve effective operation.
Soft materials or wet woody branches
may be wrapped around the chopping
knife or not cut off clean, while a
worn counter knife may cause the
same problem after several operations.
There is an adjusting device (6) on the
side of the lower shell.
To adjust the distance, turn the screw
C (in Fig.4) clockwise.
