refuse which does not have a solid consistency, e. g. kitchen
waste

Special tips on shredding:

Always fill the material to
be shredded into the filling
hopper from the right.

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.

Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number
of twigs.

How to shred garden and kitchen waste with hight water
content and a tendency to clog
−
to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate waste
with wood containing material.

Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded
material blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the
filler opening.

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.

Please do not exceed the maximum branch diameter
specified (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (see
Technical data). Depending on the wood’s nature and
freshness the maximum branch diameter the machine can
process may be smaller.

The cutter automatically draws the shredding material into
the machine through the slow rotation of the cutting rollers.

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.

If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor switch
ensures 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
refer to „Operational faults“.
Adjusting the fixed counter blade
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.
Maintenance / Cleaning / Storage
• Each time before starting maintenance work:
− Switch off the motor and pull out the mains plug.
− Allow the machine to cool down.
− Wear protective gloves to prevent injury.
When the machine is stopped for purpose of maintenance,
storage or accessory replacement make sure that the
energy source is isolated and the mains plug is
disconnected. Make sure that all movable parts are
stationary and the key (if applicable) is removed. Allow the
machine to cool down before maintenance, adjustment etc.
The cutters will not come to a standstill immediately after
cut-off. Before starting any service work wait until all parts
are stationary.
When performing maintenance operations on the cutting
tool be aware that it can still move due to the start
mechanism even if the motor does not run by the cover
interlocking.
Be sure to have removed any tools from the machine after
completion of service work.
•
Generally garden shredders require little maintenance.
To maintain their efficiency and a long life, observe the
following:
−
Keep vent slits clean and free from obstructions.
−
Check the locking screws (tighten where necessary).
− Clean the device after shredding.
To clean your product only use a warm moist cloth and a
soft brush.
Never use cleaning agents or solvents. Otherwise the
device may be damaged irreversibly. Plastic parts may
be corroded by chemicals.
−
Do not clean the machine with running water or high-
pressure cleaners.
