glass, metal, plastic or fabric. For best results use
dry, hard materials. This product is not intended for
professional use.
■
Plug the shredder into the mains supply. The LiveTool
indicator (h) will glow blue. Select forward rotation by
turning the forward/reverse selection knob (g) to the
right. Turn on using the on/off switch (f).
■
To get the maximum service from your shredder, we
recommend that you do not attempt to shred any twigs
or branches over 40mm in diameter.
■
Feed the material to be shredded into the hopper (a).
Material will be automatically pulled through the cutting
assembly and emerge at the discharge chute (d).
■
If the shredder becomes jammed by foreign bodies or
by branches which are too thick or hard, the shredder
will release itself automatically. The rotating direction
of the shredder will automatically reverse, thereby
releasing the material back through the top. To return
the shredder rotation to normal, press the OFF switch
and wait until the cutting assembly has stopped
completely. Then switch the machine on again with
the ON switch and the shredder will be back to forward
rotation.
■
If the shredder does not automatically unblock itself,
turn the machine off and turn the forward/reverse
selection knob to the left. Then turn the shredder
on again. This should clear the blockage. Once the
blockage is free, turn the shredder off and turn the
forward/reverse selection knob to the right (forward
rotation) before turning the shredder back on.
■
If the machine is overloaded, the circuit breaker will
cut off the shredder. Leave it for about 5 minutes,then
press the over-load protector (i), followed by the On
switch. The shredder should then start.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the knob/switches in sequence
using abrupt motions. Sudden switching may
generate current spikes potentially damaging the
shredder.
MAINTENANCE
SHAVING PLATE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:
Adjusting the shaving plate while the motor is
turned off could lead to serious damage of your
shredder.
■
If the shredder fails to shred material, the shaving
plate may need adjusting.
Note: Adjusting the shaving plate should only be
attempted when deemed totally necessary. Adjusting
the shaving plate too often or too far could cause your
shredder to cease working completely.
■
Ensure the shredder is turned on and working in
normal forward direction. (see fig 8 - 9).
■
Turn the screw inside the adjusting hole (13) with
the allen key (14) very slowly and very slightly in a
clockwise direction with the motor running until fine
aluminium chips fall out of the discharge chute.
MAINTENANCE
Your shredder requires very little maintenance.
WARNING:
Always disconnect the plug from the socket
before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
procedures.
■
Ensure the air openings are kept clean and free of
obstructions.
■
Check all nuts and screws are tight.
■
Spray the cutting wheel after each use with a
biodegradeable oil via the feed hopper at the top to
protect it against corrosion.
■
To clean the shredder, brush away dirt and waste
residue that may be caught in the cutter. Wipe clean
the motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not use
running water, solvents, strong detergents or a high
pressure washer to clean your shredder.
■
If a foreign object comes into contact with the cutting
wheel or the machine starts to judder or produce
abnormal noises, switch off the motor immediately.
Disconnect the plug and check for damage.
