ASSEMBLY
LEGS
1. Turn the motor housing upside-down. Insert the
screws into the machine from the bottom (fig. 1).
2. The right and left legs differ. Check that the legs
are attached so that they are angled outwards
(fig. 2).
3. Fix the legs to the machine using washers and
nuts (fig. 3). Do not tighten the nuts yet.
4. The axle components are assembled for packing
and transportation. Loosen the nuts, wheel
bushings and two washers on each side. Insert
the axle between the legs (fig. 4).
5. Mount the wheels on the axles using the wash-
ers, bushings and nuts (fig. 5). Do not tighten
the nuts yet.
6. Turn the machine the right way up and stand it
on a level surface.
7. Tighten all the nuts. The legs can be secured by
using a spanner to hold each bolt in place from
below while tightening the nut (fig. 6). Secure
each wheel by holding the one opposite in place
with a spanner while tightening the nut on the
other (fig. 7). Tighten each wheel approximate-
ly the same amount.
8. Snap the hub-caps onto the wheels. (fig. 8).
FUNNEL
Attach the funnel to the motor housing by hooking
it onto the front of the housing then tipping it back-
wards. Make sure that the spring in the funnel is in-
serted into the hole of the housing (fig. 9).
Secure the funnel by tightening the locking knob
(fig. 10).
OPERATION
GENERAL
This machine is designed solely for private use, not
for professional applications.
The compost shredder is designed to shred organic
material, such as plant waste, twigs, brush, small
branches, etc.
The shredder must not be used to mix
topsoil. This will destroy the blades.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Through poor conditions of the electrical mains,
short voltage drops can appear when starting the
equipment. This can influence other equipment
(e.g. blinking of a lamp).
If the mains-impedance Z
max
< 0,38+j0,24 ohm
such disturbances are not probable.
Connect the machine to an earthed, single phase
electric socket. The circuit must be protected by a
13A fuse (fig. 11).
Always use an earthed, rubber covered extension
lead. Use a high quality lead designed for outdoor
use.
The conductor area must be at least 3 x 1.5 mm
2
.
The socket fitted to the lead must be of the water-
proof type.
We recommend that you use an earth leakage cir-
cuit breaker that will cut off the power if anything
happens to the machine or the extension lead.
If you use a portable earth leakage circuit breaker
this must be fitted between the electric socket and
the extension lead.
The use of an earth leakage circuit breaker does not
guarantee your safety. Always follow the safety
precautions. We recommend you wear shoes with
thick rubber soles.
Test the operation of the earth leakage circuit
breaker before use.
STARTING THE MOTOR
The motor will not start until the feed funnel is cor-
rectly fitted.
Make sure the shredder is empty before
you start the motor.
Start the motor by pressing the toggle switch to set-
ting
1 (fig. 12).
Let the motor reach working speed before you feed
anything in.
MOTOR CUT - OUT
The shredder has a built-in motor cut-out that pre-
vents the motor from being overloaded.
In the event of overload the toggle switch automat-
ically switches to the
0 setting.
