SETUP & PREPARATION
OPERATION
WARNING!
THE DIRECTION CONTROL SWITCH
CAN ONLY BE USED WHEN THE SHREDDER IS
TURNED OFF.
Prior to operation
The shredder operates by using a rolling cutter head, the cutter head
rotates and pulls the material past a metal plate which grinds and cuts
the material.
Prior to operation the metal plate will need to be adjusted to ensure
efficient performance. Adjust the metal plate as follows:
1. Press the rotation direction switch
so it is set to the feed position.
2. Turn on the shredder by pressing the green
ON button “I” on the on/off switch.
3. Using the cutting adjustment knob located
on the right-hand side of the shredder (when
viewed from the rear).
Note:
Rotating the knob in a clockwise direction
will move the metal plate closer to the rolling
cutter head, rotating in an anti-clockwise
direction will move the metal plate away from the cutter head.
4. With the motor running slowly
adjust the cutting adjustment knob
by turning in a clockwise direction,
continue to do this until a scraping
noise is heard (metal plate making
contact with the cutter head). Fine
metal shavings will fall from the
discharge chute.
5. As soon as the scraping noise is
heard rotate the adjustment knob anti-clockwise 1/4 of a turn. Ensure
that the metal plate is not making contact with the cutter head.
Note:
Do not overtighten as may lead to metal plate being cracked.
6. Once adjustment is complete check that the shredder is cutting
efficiently by feeding some material into the feeding hopper. Do this
by following the instructions outlined in the “
Shredding
” section.
Note:
When shredding hard material it may need to be put through
the shredder twice, firstly to crush the material and secondly to cut it.
In order to crush material the cutting adjustment knob will need to be
loosened by turning it anti-clockwise half a turn, this will increase the gap
between the metal plate and the rolling cutter head.
Re-adjust the metal plate once crushing is complete.
Direction control switch
1. Prior to operation the direction
control switch must be set
either to the feed or reverse
position.
2. When set to the feed position
the shredder will pull material
through the hopper, into the
rolling cutter head and shred
it.
3. When set to the reverse
position the shredder will
run in the opposite direction
and release any blocked or
clogged material.
In reverse
direction, the power
button must be held
down.
Note:
The direction control
switch will not start the motor, it
only sets the direction of the rolling cutter head.
Note:
If the switch for selecting the direction of rotation is in its
centre position
