gloves to prevent injury.
Taking care of the shredder
Dirt and cut waste residue are
best removed directly after the
cutting operation. Use here a
soft brush or a cloth. (Always
wear protective gloves.)
Treatment (winterisation)
Always store the shredder in a
closed, dry room. In addition
to the above treatment, remove
the funnel (see point 4 of
Assembly – Fig. 5, item 1) and
apply a biologically degradable,
oil emulsive treatment spray to
the exposed blade assembly.
(For instance WD 40 oil.)
