Always use the correct supply voltage
The power supply voltage must match the information quoted on your shredder's identification
plate. Shredders with a rating of 230 V can only be connected to a 230 V mains supply.
The shredder shall be supplied via a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not
more than 30mA
An extension cable with a cross section that is too small causes a distinct reduction in the
performance capabilities of the machine. For cables up to 25 m in length, a cross section of at
least 3 x 1.5 mm
2
is required; for cables more than 25 m in length, the cross section must be at
least 2.5 mm
2
.
Training
Become familiar with the manufacturer's manual before attempting to operate this equipment.
Controls
On/off switch
Press the green button to switch on the shredder.
Press the red button to switch it off.
Note: This machine is equipped with an electromagnetic switch to prevent it from being
unexpectedly switched on when power source recovered.
Reversing switch
Caution! The reversing switch can only be operated when the shredder is switched off.
Position A
(Fig. 1.A)
The reversing switch has been set to position A. The chopping knife will pull in the material and
chop it. The switch is set to position A after the manufacturer's test.
Position B
(Fig. 1.B)
When the chopping knife is jammed so that the motor cannot keep running, first press the red
button of the on/off switch to stop the motor. Then completely turn the reversing switch to left
position B and press the on/off switch (the green button). Keep the green button of the on/off
switch pressed, the chopping knife will rotate into the reverse direction and release the material
to enable you to remove it. When you release the on/off switch the shredder will stop
automatically.
Overload protection
Overload (e.g. blocking up of the chopping knife) will lead to a standstill of the machine after a
few seconds. To protect the motor from getting damaged, the overload switch will automatically
cut off the mains supply.
Wait at least 1 minute before restarting by first pressing the reset button and then the on/off
switch.
If the chopping knife is blocked turn the reversing switch to left position B before switching on the
shredder again.
Disassembling
For certain purposes, e.g. storage after use, etc, you can disassemble the shredder in the
reverse order as described under "Assembling ".
