The chipping board (B) can be adjusted on the cutter
(A) without clearance. The gap should be as small as
possible for efficient operation.
Soft material or wet branches may be torn instead
of chipping. This problem may be caused even by
the chipping board which is worn after frequent use.
(0 - 0.5 mm)
Gap adjustment.
Turn the appliance on.
There is an adjustment device on the right-hand side of
the plastic casing. Use the screw with rosette (D) for the
gap adjustment and turn it clockwise so that the screw
(C) turns towards the cylindrical cutter (A). Screw it until
fine aluminum filings start to drop from the ejection
opening. As soon as this happens and the scraping
noise is heard, rotate the adjustment screw anti-clock-
wise 1/4 of a turn. Ensure that the chipping board is not
making contact with the cutter head. Make shredding
tests to check if the best effect is achieved.
Readjust if necessary.

Before start of any maintenance
− Turn the motor off and unplug the mains plug.
− Wear protective gloves so as to avoid injury.
Warning! Danger of injury by dangerous moving parts.
Be careful during maintenance of the chipping system.
Wait before maintenance or repair until all movable
parts are stopped completely.
Make sure that the tools used for repair or mainte-
nance are removed again.

The garden chipper does not require any substan-
tial maintenance. For keeping the high value and
long service life:
− The ventilation holes must remain unobstructed and
clean. Use either a moistened cloth or soft brush
for cleaning of your appliance. Never use cleaning
chemical agents or solvents. This could result in ir-
reparable damage to your appliance. Plastic surface
may be damaged by such agents.
− Check mounting screws (retighten them if
necessary).
− Clean the appliance after chipping.
− The chipper may not be cleaned with water sprayed
from nozzle or using a high-pressure cleaning unit.
− Protect exposed metallic parts by applying an
environment friendly biologically degradable oil after
each use.
− The cylindrical cutter and chipping board are com-
ponents subjected to wear. However, their service
life is several years in the case of normal use and
correct adjustment.

Any repairs or maintenance which is not described
in this instruction manual should be carried out by
