8.6 Correct machine load
The load on the motor or engine of the
garden shredder must never cause the
speed to drop significantly. Always feed
the garden shredder continuously and
steadily. If the speed drops when working
with the garden shredder, stop feeding the
machine in order to relieve the load on the
motor or engine.
8.7 Overload protection
If an overload of the motor occurs during
operation, the built-in overload protection
device automatically switches off the
motor.
The garden shredder can be started up
again after a cooling period of
approx. 1 0 minutes . Frequent triggering
of the overload protection may be
attributable to the following causes:
– Unsuitable electric cable ( Ö 10.1)
– Power overload
– Machine overloaded due to excessive
quantities of shredding material or blunt
blades
8.8 If the cutting unit of the garden
shredder becomes blocked
If the cutting unit of the garden shredder
becomes blocked during shredding,
immediately switch off the motor and
disconnect the power cable. Then remove
the feed chute ATO 400 and eliminate the
cause of the malfunction.

The feed opening (1) is only for
feeding with soft material or with
thin branches (up to approx. 10 mm
in diameter) with numerous side
shoots and twigs. The branch
guide (3) should be folded in when
feeding soft material into the
shredder. (
Ö 10.10)
Damp or wet soft material will
cause blockages in the machine
more quickly. For this reason, feed
the garden shredder more slowly
and pay particular attention to the
motor speed. It should not drop
during feeding.
