Adjusting the Control Dial
The control dial regulates the particle size and speed at which
material passes through the unit. When the control dial is
set in the COARSE position, material will process through
the unit faster, but will yield a larger particle size than if the
dial were set to the FINE position. The FINE position setting
will discharge the material slower, but will yield the smallest
particle reduction ratio (up to 16 : 1). Use the special settings
for pine needles, grass clippings, and thatch as needed. For
best results, material should be shredded when dry (Fig. 12).
Overheating Protection
Your electric leaf m shredder is designed with
overheating protection. If the shredder is clogged during
shredding, the overheating protection will cut the power
automatically to protect your shredder. Wait at least 1 minute
before restarting the unit when the power is cut.
1. To restart the leaf m shredder, first press push the
red OFF button (Fig. 13).

Maintenance
m
ATTENTION!
Before performing any cleaning or
maintenance, turn off the unit and disconnect it from the power
supply. Wait until the unit stops completely.
Cleaning
1. Use only a warm damp cloth and a soft brush to clean the
funnel cover and the funnel.
2. Never spray water on the unit's motor bracket or wash
it with water. Do not use detergents or solvents as these
could cause irreparable damage to your leaf m
shredder.
3. Make sure the ventilation slots are always kept clean and
are free of debris.
4. Remove the funnel to clean the inside of the unit. Open
the two clamps that secure the funnel and remove the
funnel (Fig. 14).
5. Clean the spinning head and the discharge area. Remove
wood sticks or objects that may clog the cutting lines.
Check the lines for damage.
6. After cleaning the inside of the leaf m shredder,
replace the funnel and lock the clamps.
