NOTE:
After prolonged use, the garden shredder may lose
performance. If the blades become worn or damaged, they can
be reversed to provide a new cutting edge.

Fig. 9
NOTE:
1. Do not allow garden waste to accumulate before
shredding as it will begin to compost and become too damp and
clog the cutting assembly. Dry material will help most material to
clear the ejection chute. Save some dry sticks until last to help
clean the blade area.
2. Frequently monitor the build-up of shredded material.
3. Do not allow shredded material to build up and fill the inside of
the shredder's discharge chute.
4. When the collection box is full, make sure to press the On/Off
switch to turn the garden shredder off, and release the locking
button before emptying collection box.

Fig. 11
The shredder has two blades that are attached to a rotating support.
When one side of a blade becomes dull, it can be turned over in order to
use the other side. Dull blades can be replaced or properly sharpened.
1. Switch shredder off by pressing the power On/Off switch to the Off
position.
2. Disconnect the shredder from the electric power supply.
3. Turn the locking knob counter-clockwise until the body cover can be
opened. Lift up the body cover to expose the two blades (Fig. 7).
4. Wearing protective gloves, use a screwdriver (not supplied) to hold the
blade plate, then use the hexagonal end of the socket wrench supplied
to loosen and remove the first hexagon socket head screw (Fig. 10).
5. Turn the blade plate 180°, use the hexagonal wrench to loosen and
remove the other hexagon socket head screw (Fig. 11).
6. Lift out the old blade. Either reinsert the blade with the sharp edge in
position as the cutting surface or insert a replacement blade.
7. Follow the same procedure for the opposite cutting blade.
8. Replace and tighten the two screws in order to secure the new blade
to the support.
9. Close cover, making sure it is correctly placed, and securely retighten
locking knob.
