Practical tips
1. Be sure to observe the safety instructions.
3. Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
4. Place the material you wish to shred into the
opening on the right-hand side (the blade
rotates anticlockwise).
5. The material is drawn into the mulcher
automatically.
CAUTION! Long pieces of material projecting
out of the funnel inlet may whiplash when it is
drawn in – keep a safe distance between
yourself and the machine.
6. Judge the quantity of material which you put
into the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not
clog.
7. If you want to shred withered, damp material
that has been lying in the garden for several
days, alternate between putting in this material
and branches. This will help to prevent the
loading funnel becoming clogged with material.
8. Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste
put it straight in the compost box.
9. Entangled branches and leaves should be
thoroughly shredded before loading any more
material.
10. Do not allow the discharge opening to become
clogged with shredded material – risk of pile-
ups.
11. Do not cover the ventilation slits.
12. Do not place heavy material or thick branches
into the machine continuously. This may cause
the blade to jam.
13. Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed
objects from the funnel or discharge openings.
Emptying the shredded material debris box.
The level of material in the shredded material debris
box can be checked by looking through the slots on the
side of the cover.
Always empty the shredded material debris box in
To empty it, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.
2. Release the shredded material debris box
To do so, press the safety switch (Fig. 12/Item
A) down.
3. Take the shredded material debris box out at
the front.
Adjusting the counter blade (Fig. 14)
Adjustment must be made to suit the material
that needs to be shredded. Switch the machine
on for this purpose. To ensure the best possible
results from your mulcher, the gap between
the counter blade (Item B) and the shredding
blade (Item A) should be approx. 0.50 mm.
There is an adjustment knob (Fig. 1/ Item 6) on the
right-hand side of the plastic housing for this purpose.
Turn the knob clockwise so that the screw (Item C)
moves towards the shredding blade (Item A).
After a half-turn the counter blade (Item B) will have
moved 0.50 mm closer to the shredding blade (Item A).
After completing this adjustment check whether the
blade produces the desired results.
If the blade becomes jammed, turn the
Forward/ Reverse switch to the upper
“ ” before you switch on the mulcher again.

it to come to a complete stop before removing
debris. Do not insert your hands or other limbs in
these openings.
.
Important! The material will be crushed, mashed
and shredded by the cutting unit, thus accelerating
the decomposition process for composting.
Caution! Do not over adjust the blade setting as
contact with the counter blade causes damage.
