Practical tips(Fig.11)
WARNING: Important!Wear work gloves! Risk of injury from the cutters.
Be sure to observe the safety instructions.
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
The material is drawn into the shredder automatically. CAUTION! Long pieces of material
projecting out of the funnel inlet may whiplash when it is drawn in – keep a safe distance between
yourself and the machine.
Judge the quantity of material which you put into the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not clog.
If you want to shred withered, damp material that has been lying in the garden for several days,
alternate between putting in this material and branches. This will help to prevent the loading funnel
becoming clogged with material.
Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) – put it straight in the compost box.
Entangled branches and leaves should be tho roughly shredded before loading any more material.
Do not allow the discharge opening to become clogged with shredded material – risk of pile-ups.
Do not cover the ventilation slits.
Do not place heavy material or thick branches into the machine
continuously. This may cause the blade to jam.
Use the prodder to remove jammed objects from the funnel inlet, use a
hook to remove jammed objects from the ejector opening.
Swing open the loading funnel by opening the release screw and remove
it (see Fig.11). You can now remove blockages from the inside of the
equipment. To assemble, proceed in reverse order.
Safety(Fig.12)
The shredder has a safety switch in its interior on the motor housing . The
control unit (release screw) for it is located on the loading funnel as shown in
Fig.12.
If the loading hopping is not perfectly position or if it is not pressed against
the motor housing, the safety switch will trip and prevent the motor from
working. If this situation occurs, open the loading funnel as described above.
Carefully clean the interior. Close the loading funnel again as described
above and ensure that when you switch on the machine again the loading
funnel is correctly position and the safety screw is screwed right in.
WARNING:NEVER undo the release screw without first switching off the machine at the
ON/OFF switch and disconnecting the coupling on the machine connection cable (extension)
from the machine plug.
