TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■
Make sure that the product has been
thoroughly cleaned before storing it in a
clean, dry place, and secured out of the
reach of children.
■
Allow the product to adequately cool down
before storing or transporting.
■
When transporting the product in a vehicle,
secure it against movement or falling to
prevent injury to persons or damage to the
product.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, inspecting or servicing
the product, turn it off and allow the cutters
to completely stop, disconnect the electric
supply. After some time of shredding the
cutting mechanism will become hot. Allow
it to adequately cool down before cleaning,
inspecting or adjusting.
WARNING
The cutter blades are extremely sharp. To
avoid injury, exercise extreme caution and
care when cleaning or working near the
blades or inside the opened enclosure when
the collection bin is removed. Always wear
heavy-duty protective gloves.
■
Be aware that the cutting means can still
be moved even when the power is off or if
the interlock switch is engaged.
■
To ensure the best performance from the
product, it must be kept clean.
■
Always clean the product immediately after
use. Wherever possible use a stiff brush
inside the feed and discharge chutes and
a dry cloth on the outside of the product.
■
Do not allow material to become dry and
hard on any of the product surfaces, but
particularly on the blades. This will directly
affect the shredding performance.
■
Make sure that the feeding chute and the
ejection chute are kept clean and clear of
all waste material
■
Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
(except the adjusting screw) are tight and
secure.
■

repaired, or replaced by qualified personnel
at an approved RYOBI service centre.

petroleum-based products, penetrating oils,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts.

solvents and may be damaged by their use..
■
You may perform maintenance tasks
described in this manual. For other repairs
or advice, seek the assistance of an
approved RYOBI service centre.
SHAVING PLATE ADJUSTMENT
■
The product performs at its best by following
these steps. Before use, always check that
the shaving plate is not in contact with the
blades. For optimal performance, keep a 1
mm gap between the shaving plate and the
blades.
■
If the product fails to shred material, the
shaving plate may need adjustment.
■
Over time, the shaving plate needs to be
adjusted to lessen its gap from the blades.
Ensure that the product is turned on and
working in normal forward direction. Adjusting
the shaving plate while the motor is turned off
could lead to serious damage to the product.
NOTE:
Adjusting the shaving plate should
only be attempted when deemed totally
necessary. Adjusting the shaving plate too
often or too far could cause the product to
stop working.
■
While the product is running, turn the
adjusting knob clockwise.
■
When you hear metal on metal contact
or you see fine aluminum shavings in the
bottom of the collection container, stop the
adjustment and allow the product to run
for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, turn the
adjustment knob counterclockwise until it is
no longer in contact with the shaving plate,
leaving a 1 mm gap.
NOTE:
Complete any adjustment slowly to
avoid damaging the product. Overadjusting
the plate can cause serious damage to the
product.
