MOTOR PROTECTION
The grinder is equipped with a built-in motor pro-
tection which prevents the motor being overload-
ed.
In the event of overloading, the motor switches off.
The current is broken.
After cooling down for one minute, the motor can
be restarted. Press the restart button, 2 (fig. 9), and
start the motor as normal.
Do not start the motor, pull out the plug, undo the
locking wheel (fig. 8) and open the compost grind-
er. Clean around the blade disc (fig. 10). Ensure
that no material is jamming the blade disc.
Close the compost grinder, screw the locking
wheel into place and start again. NOTE! A safety
switch in the motor housing prevents the motor
from starting if the locking wheel is not fully
screwed in (fig. 8).
STOPPING THE MOTOR
Stop the motor by pressing the switch, 1 (fig. 9).
Do not feed in any material after the mo-
tor has been stopped. This will get
caught in the machine and can make re-
starting impossible.
Disconnect the plug if the machine is to be left un-
supervised.
GRINDING
The following types of material can be ground in
the compost grinder:
- twigs and branches
- waste from cutting bushes
- waste
from hedge-trimming
- plant parts and other garden waste which is
suitable for grinding.
To prevent damage to the machine, you are recom-
mended not to exceed the following maximum siz-
es of twigs and branches:
< 40 mm in diameter.
Feel free to stand the grinder on a tarpaulin or sim-
ilar before grinding. This will catch the ground ma-
terial and make removal easier.
The material that is to be ground is fed into the
feeding hopper and, assuming it is not too bulky,
pulled down to the blades.
The compost grinder is supplied with a feeder. The
feeder is used to feed down small, twigs, leafy ma-
terial and plant parts. Insert the feeder down to its
full length. Do not feed in new material until the
material that has already been fed in has been fully
ground.
Thick branches are ground most easily when they
are fresh.
A large proportion of garden waste contains a lot
of water and therefore sticks easily. Such material
should be allowed to dry for a few days before be-
ing processed.
The ground material that is ejected is collected by
the discharge chute while you work. The pile of
material builds up quickly, and can block the dis-
charge chute causing a stoppage. The material can
also be thrown back through the feeding hopper.
Move the grinder or remove the pile of ground ma-
terial in plenty of time.
Turn or replace the blades regularly. Sharp blades
make the work considerably easier, particularly
self-feeding.
Feed in loose grinding material in such quantities
that it can be processed.
Do not press thicker branches in against the
blades. They place an unnecessary burden on the
motor and the blades.
To avoid stoppages, listen to the motor speed. If
the revs drop significantly, pull back the branch
and wait until the revs increase. Carefully feed in
the branch again.
If the blades become blocked, read the safety in-
structions before opening the machine.
Ensure that there is no material in the feeding hop-
per when you finish your grinding work. This
could block the blades at the next start-up.
Store the grinder indoors in a dry place.
COMPOSTING
The processed material can be composted in vari-
ous ways:
- The material can be placed in a heap directly on
the ground (cold composting).
- The material can be placed in a plastic contain-
er, wooden crate, skeleton container or similar
(cold composting).
