Commissioning
Electically connect appliance.
The power supply connection lead must
be protected with either a 10 or 16
ampere fuse (see Tech. Data).
Only cables which are not lighter than
rubber insulated cables H07 RN-F
DIN/VDE 0282 and which have a mini-
mum cross sectional area of
1.5 mm
2
for less than 20 m or 2.5 mm
2
for greater than 20 m may be used as
connection cables.
The coupling of the cable connection
must be made from rubber or must be
sheathed in rubber and in accordance
with the standard DIN/VDE 0620. Alter-
nating current models must use a 16 A
CEE plug appliance and a 5 pole cable.
The plug appliance must be splash
proof.
Use of unsuitable extension cables cau-
ses power loss and can cause damage
to the motor (refer to the chapter: "For
Your Safety")
Notes on mulching
What can be mulched?
From the home and kitchen
Fruit, vegetable waste, newspaper,
packaging paper, corrugated cardboard,
wood wool, decayed wood, thin wooden
fruit boxes (without nails). Soften paper
and cardboard in water before mulching.
From the garden
Tree and hedge cuttings, fruit canes,
rose pruning, withered flowers (autumn
clear out), vegetable refuse, leaves,
potato vines, tomato plants, bean stalks,
pea straws, grass cuttings, hay, straw,
foliage, bushes, etc.
What does not belong in the mul-
cher?
Stone, glass, metal fragments, plastic,
chemical cleaners, printed paper,
(magazines and brochures), thick wood
and hard wood. The rule of thumb is:
If you wouldn't put it on the compost
heap, don't put it in the mulcher.
Tree and hedge cuttings should be pro-
cessed immediately while they are
fresh, as the mulcher can then shred
them more efficiently than when they
are old.
Reverse phase plug
Correct rotational direction
With the switch in position A the cutting
assembly of this mulcher rotates anti-
clockwise when observed from above
through the gutter of the cutting assem-
bly.
Check the rotational direction of the
alternating current model GE365. If the
rotational direction is incorrect, reverse
the motor poles using the reverse phase
plug. (see above illus.)
