When filling, be careful that no pieces of metal, stones, bottles
or other objects unintended for processing, enter the filling
hopper.
Immediately switch off the equipment and allow it to come to a
stop, if foreign objects enter the filling hopper or if the equip-
ment starts to make unusual noises or vibrates. Remove the
mains plug and carry out the following checks:
−
inspect for damage,
−
replace or repair damaged parts,
−
check the equipment and tighten loose parts.
You must not repair the equipment yourself if you are
unauthorized to do so.
What can I shred?
Yes:
•
organic household and garden waste
e. g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers and vegetable
kitchen waste.
No:
•
glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots with
soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.
Special tips on shredding:
¾
Always fill the material to
be shredded into the fill-
ing hopper from the right.
¾
Branches, twigs and
wood should be broken
down
immediately after
they have been cut
−
Material of this kinds gets very hard when it is dry, and the
maximum allowed branch diameter to be processed has to
be reduced.
¾
Remove any
side shoots
from branches with a large number
of twigs.

How to shred garden and kitchen waste with hight water con-
tent and a tendency to clog
−
to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate waste with
wood containing material.
¾
Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded mate-
rial blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the filler
opening.
¾
Clean out the filler opening and ejection channel thoroughly if
the machine becomes blocked. Before doing this, switch the
motor off and disconnect the machine from the mains power
supply.
¾
Please do not exceed the maximum branch diameter speci-
fied (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (
∅
see p. 18).
Depending on the wood’s nature and freshness the maximum
branch diameter the machine can process may be smaller.
¾
The cutter automatically draws the shredding material into the
machine through the slow rotation of the cutting rollers.
¾
Automatic switch-over in the direction of rotation:
If the unit suddenly
clogs
, the blades may start to turn in the
opposite direction
and push the shredded material back out.
−
Switch off unit
−
Wait until the blades come to a standstill
−
Switch unit back on and use material which is easier to
process.
¾
If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor switch en-
sures that the machine turns itself off automatically.
−
Turn the shredder on again after about 5 minutes.
−
If you cannot turn on the machine after this waiting time re-
fer to „Operational faults“.

It is possible to adjust the counter blade
(B) at the cutting roller (A) free of
clearance. For an effective operation, an
as small as possible clearance should be
maintained.
Soft material or wet branches may tear
instead of being cut. A counter blade that
is worn after repeated use may also lead
to this problem.
Setting the clearance.
Switch on the device.
There is an adjustment device on the right
hand side of the plastic housing. To adjust
the distance, insert the supplied socket
wrench (D) and turn it to the right so that
the screw (C) moves towards the cutting
roller (A). Turn until fine aluminium chips
are falling from the ejection slot.
