Motor protection (Fig. 13 / Item D)
An overload (for example if the blade is jammed) will cause the machine to cut
out after a few seconds. To protect the motor from damage the motor protection
switch stops the power supply automatically. Wait for at least one minute before
you press the reset button so that you can restart the machine.
Then press the ON/OFF switch.
If the blade becomes jammed, turn the switch for selecting the direction of
rotation to the position “ ” before you switch on the shredder again.
Practical tips
•
Be sure to observe the safety instructions within this booklet.
•
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
•
Feed in the material you want to shred at the funnel on the side with
the larger opening (Fig. 1/Item 17).
•
The material is drawn into the shredder 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.
•
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 dry 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 separated and shredded before loading
any more material.
•
Do not allow the discharge opening to become clogged with shredded material -
risk of jamming.
•
Do not cover the ventilation slits.
•
Do not place heavy material or thick branches into the machine continuously.
This may cause the blade to jam.
•
Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed objects from the funnel or
discharge openings.
IMPORTANT!
The material will be crushed, mashed and shredded by the cutting unit,
thus accelerating the decomposition process for composting.
