Removing blockages
WARNING! Always switch the product off, disconnect it from the
power supply and let the product cool down before performing
inspections, maintenance and cleaning work!
In case of more stubborn blockages, you may have to clear material from
inside the cutter housing. Proceed as follows:
• Remove the four Allen screws
14
on the housing cover
16
.
• Remove the cover. This may require light jerking movements.
IMPORTANT! Do not advance the plate while the blade is stationary.
If the pressure plate is adjusted while the blade is stationary, the plate
can be positioned between the tips of 2 of the blades and too far within
the blades and the circular path of the blade tips. This could damage the
pressure plate or the shredder.
Using the adjustment knob correctly
• Ensure the shredder inlet is free from material to be shredded.
• Start the machine normally in the down direction, this is the direction
required to shred material.
• The shredder roller blade should rotate freely; it has a low speed of
rotation only once per second.
• Slowly rotate the adjustment knob
19
clockwise a ½ turn. The pressure
plate is advanced towards the blade while the blade is moving.
• If the roller blade continues to rotate without a grinding noise, advance
another ½ turn.
• When you here a grinding noise, the pressure plate is being cut by the
roller blade; your shredder is now correctly set up for a good cut. You
should see small aluminium shavings from the pressure plate in the
collection box.
• Check cutting performance by feeding a woody branch into the
shredder - it should be cut through correctly into pieces approximately
3cm in length.
