11. Do not allow the shredded material to build up to a level where it blocks
the discharge chute. If the material builds up too far it could reach the
cutting blades and be thrown out of the in-feed chute.
12. Organic material contains a large amount of water and sap that can
stick to the shredder. To avoid this the material should be left for a few
days to dry out. Large branches however are best shredded when they
are fresh.
13. If during cutting the blade stalls, stop the shredder immediately and
disconnect it from the mains supply before investigating the cause.
14. Remove any jammed debris from the blades and examine them for any
damage before recommencing shredding.
15. If the blade has stalled for more than 5 seconds the safety overload
switch will operate and switch the machine off. Allow the machine to
cool down for at least 1 minute before re-starting. Push the overload
switch first and then push on the On/Off switch to re-start the machine.
16. If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or if the appliance
should start making any unusual noise or vibration, immediately switch
off and allow the cutting means to stop.
Pull the plug from the mains supply and take the following steps:
i.
Inspect for damage.
ii.
Replace or repair any damage parts.
iii.
Check for and tighten any loose parts.
17. If the appliance becomes clogged, switch off and allow the cutting
means to stop. Pull the plug from the mains supply before cleaning
debris.
18. Keep the motor cooling vents clean of debris and other accumulations
to prevent damage to the motor or possible fire.
19. Switch off, allow the cutting means to stop and pull the plug from the
mains supply whenever you leave the work area.
20. 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.
