Page: 9 / 10

Lock lever:
Upper position → Retaining basket is locked.
Lower position → Retaining basket is unlocked.
The device does not switch on
because of safety function.
The machine is not switched on if the lock lever is unlock
position. The machine automatically stops if the retaining
basket is unlocked during operation.
Blade cover
CAUTION:
Make sure that the machine is switched off and un-
plugged before opening the blade cover.
Wear protective groves before opening the blade
cover.
The cutter does not stop immediately after switch off.
Wait until all the parts stop.
In case the material clogs badly in the upper enclosure,
remove them by opening the blade cover.
OPERATION
Set up the machine:
On a flat, horizontal surface. Do not place the machine
on paved or graveled ground.
With a safe distance (at least 2 m) away from walls or
other objects.
Before starting, make sure that:
The connection cables are not damaged. If there is cuts
or tears, stop operation and replace it immediately.
There is no damage on the machine, and all screws
are tight.
The machine is assembled completely and correctly.
Check the mains connection:
Make sure that the mains voltage matches the rated
voltage on the nameplate and the machine is properly
grounded.
Use only extension cords with sufficient core
cross-section.
The material which the shredder can process
The shredder can process following types of
material:
All types of branches up to the maximum diameter of
the machine’s capacity, depending on type and condi-
tion of wood
Garden refuses such as withered plants or wet weed
which has been laid some days (Feed them alternating
with branches.)
The shredder can NOT process following types of
material:
Glass, metal, plastic, stones, ceramics, thicker
branches, hard wood, thick wood plates, cloth, plastic
bags, roots with soil.
Garbage which is almost liquid state, e.g. kitchen
garbage.
Operation: (Fig. 8)
Feed the material into the filling hopper from the right
side.
In case of branches, twigs and wood, shred them just
after they are cut. They may get very hard as they
become dry.

Remove any side shoots from branches if they are not
easy to feed.
Turn off the motor and disconnect the machine from the
mains power supply before cleaning ejection opening.
Do not let the shredded material accumulated in ejec-
tion opening. Otherwise those shredded material may
block the ejection opening. Empty the retaining basket
regularly.
Do not feed material which is more than the maximum
branch diameter specified in Technical data. Depending
on the wood’s freshness and condition, the maximum
branch diameter may be smaller.
Shredding wet garden waste results in a clog. To pre-
vent the machine from clogging, alternate waste with
wood containing material.
Soft material or wet branches may be torn instead of
being cut. Worn counter blade may also cause this
problem.
Adjusting the blade clearance (Fig. 9)
For an effective operation, adjust the clearance between
the counter blade and cutting roller.
Setting the clearance:
Switch on the device.
Turn the fixing knob counterclockwise to release the
adjusting knob.
Turn the adjusting knob clockwise slowly to place the
counter blade closer to the cutting roller. Turn it until fine
aluminum chips are falling from the ejection opening.
Turn the fixing knob clockwise to lock the adjusting
knob.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and un-
plugged before performing inspection or maintenance.
Wear protective groves before performing inspection or
maintenance.
The cutter does not stop immediately after switch off.
Wait until all the parts stop before performing any
maintenance work.
Make sure that all the tools are removed after mainte-
nance work.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To clean the machine, use only moist cloth and soft
brush.
Do not hose or clean the machine with high pressured
water.
After each operation, perform the following maintenance:
Check whether all the locking screws are tight (tighten
if necessary).
Lubricate metal parts to protect them against
corrosion.
Keep the vents clean and free from dust.
The cutting roller and counter blade wears out in course
of time. Ask your nearest authorized service center for
replacement when it is necessary.

Before Operation, adjust the Adjusting Knob to make
sure the Counter Blade and Cutting Roller no
interference.
Switch on the tool, then need to adjust the blade:
Adjust the Adjusting Knob, when hearing the cutting
roller touches the counter blade. Tighten Fixing Knob,
make sure the Counter Blade is fixed enough.
REVERSE SWITCH
The shredder is fitted with a Reverse switch to enable
the removal of jammed material. If material becomes
jammed stop the machine by pressing in the OFF
button. When the machine has come to a complete stop
change the direction of rotation of the machine by
pressing reverse arrow of reverse switch and pressing
the ON button ( note that the machine will not latch ON
while in reverse -- the button has to be held down).
When the blockage has cleared stop the machine and
return the Reverse switch to its original position. Do not
continue to run the machine in reverse mode as this
could cause injury to the operator or damaged to the
machine.
