♦
The cutter automatically draws the shredding material into the
machine through the slow rotation of the cutting rollers.
♦
Do not allow the chopped material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to chopped
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.
♦
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
−
during those five minutes you cannot turn the machine
on. See point “Operational faults“.

fixed counter blade
The cutting unit has been adjusted at the factory and need
not be adjusted prior to being put into operation for the first time.
It is possible to adjust the counter blade at the cutting roller 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.
To adjust the clearance, insert
the supplied socket wrench A
and turn it to the right so that
the screw moves towards the
cutting roller. Turn until fine
aluminium chips are falling
from the ejection slot.

•
Each time before starting maintenance work
−
switch off the motor and withdraw the mains plug
−
wear protective gloves to prevent injury.
Take care when maintaining the cutting equipment to ensure that
the cutters can still be operated by the starter
mechanism, even
if the motor is not running because the cover has been unlocked.
•
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
−
the shredder should not be cleaned with high pressure
cleaners or running water.
−
treat the cutting roller after every use with a biodegradable
spray oil as protection against corrosion.
−
the cutting roller and shaving plate are expendable parts,
though with normal use and correct adjustment they have a
service life of many years.
