material:
All types of branches up to the machine's maximum
diameter capacity of 40mm , depending on type and
condition of the wood .
Dry g arden refuse such as plants , which should be
dried before shredding and f ed alternat ely with
branches to avoid blocking the shredder.
The shredder can NOT process

of
material:
Glass, metal, plastic, stone, ceramics, thicker
branches, hard wood, thick wood plates, cloth, plastic
bags, roots with soil.

Remove any side shoots from branches if they are not
easy to feed.
Turn off the motor and disconnect the machine from the
power supply before cleaning the ejection opening.
Do not let the shredded material accumulate in the
ejec tion opening. Otherwise the shredded material
may block the ejection opening. Empty the collection
box regularly.
Do not shr ed material which is more than the maximum
branch diameter of 40mm . The maximum branch
diameter may vary depending on the freshness and
condition of the wood .
Shredding wet garden waste may clog the shredder .
To reduce the chance of the machine clogging
alternate waste with wood.
Soft material or wet branches may be torn instead of
being cut. A w orn counter blade may a lso 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.
