2a/Item 1).
Collecting the shredded material
A container can be placed underneath the ejector
opening to catch the shredded material.
6. Before starting up
6.1 Assembling the chassis
Place the motor housing upside down on the floor
and fasten the two parts of the frame to the motor
housing by screwing on hand-tight with a self-
locking hex nut and a special washer (Figure 3).
Place the axle between the two parts of the frame
(Figure 4).
Use the hex wrench and wrench adapter to mount
the wheels on the frame with a spacer, washer
and screw (Figure 5). Put on the wheel hubs.
Screw out the release screw (A) (Figure 6). The
loading funnel can then be swung away.
Tighten the self-locking hex nuts and the fixing
screws holding the chassis (Figure 7).
Place the loading funnel inlet (Figure 2a/Item 1) in
the loading funnel (Figure 02a) and fasten in place
with three screws (Figure 08 / Item A).
7. Starting up
7.1 SAFETY BRAKE
Electric motor is fitted with a safety brake and stops
within 5 seconds from being switched off as a
consequence the blades rotation stops as well.
7.2 Overload protection (motor circuit-breaker)
If the motor is overloaded for a lengthy period, the
overload switch (Fig. 2b/Item 9) will trigger and
switch off the machine. The ON/OFF switch is set to
“0”. After waiting for 1 minute you can press the
overload switch and re-set the ON/OFF switch to ON.
If the motor fails to start, clean the ejector chute (see
7.3.).
7.3 OPENING THE PLATE-HOPPER (Fig. N,O)
- always wear gloves
- ensure that the switch be on OFF position
(Fig. 2b/Item 10)
- disconnect the plug from the mains
- unscrew the knob (Fig. 2b/Item 11) and lift the
hopper (Fig. 2a/Item2);
- clean cut and discharge area and remove wood
sticks or objects which may clog the blades.
Lower the hopper (Fig. 2a/Item 2) and tighten up
the knob (Fig. 2b/item 10) tightly before activating
the On switch.
7.4 SAFETY INTERLOCK
The apparatus is fitted with a safety switch on the
closure between the hopper and the lower plate. If
the hopper is not perfectly placed and fixed against
the lower plate, the SAFETY SWITCH will trigger,
stopping the motor from working; should this occur,
disassemble the hopper as explained in the previous
paragraph.
Carefully clean the 2 plates contacting faces.
Refit carefully and tighten the knob right down.
CAUTION: NEVER slacken off the knob (Fig. 2b/Item
11) without having turned off the switch (Fig. 2b/Item
10) and pulled the plug out of the socket.
7.5 BLADES
The blades (Fig. 9-10) of the blade-holding plate are
reversible.
For quality safety’ sake, we recommend that, in case
of substitution, you use original blades only.
REVERSING, SUBSTITUTION OF BLADES
(fig. 9-10)
We suggest that the above operations be carried out
by qualified Service Stations.
The (reversible) blades are fixed to the rotary plate
with two screws each. Before any maintenance or
cleaning work on the blades, always turn the switch
OFF and disconnect the plug from the socket.
7.6 Practical tips
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear muffs.
Material placed in the loading funnel inlet is
automatically drawn into the shredder.
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.
Judge the quantity of material which you put into
the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not clog.
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.
Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) – put
it straight in the compost box.
Entangled branches and leaves should be
thoroughly shredded before loading any more
material.
Do not allow the ejector outlet of the funnel to
