OPERATION
WARNING! Always wear eye
protectors and protective gloves
when operating the machine.
Insert material to be mulched. The material will
be fed by the cutting roller (12) without further
assistance.
WARNING! Longer material
standing out from the machine
could lash out when being pulled in by
the knives! Please keep at safe distance!
Insert only as much material as can be fed
without stuffing the feed opening (1) .
Mulch withered, moist material and garden
waste which has been stored for some days
alternately with branches.
This prevents the cutting roller (12) from
clogging. Do not mulch soft waste without
solid substance such as kitchen waste.
This material should be composted
directly.
The mulching of dry hardwood branches with
the maximum allowable diameter is also
possible with a sharp cutting roller (13).
MALFUNCTIONS
WARNING! Before switching the
rotational direction, always switch
the machine off and wait until it stops.
Garden waste does not feed by itself:

Motor does not run:
Check the overload protection, reset the
overload protector.
Check the house fuse. The circuit must be
protected with at least 13A fuse
Direction of rotation switches
automatically:
When the machine is suddenly blocked (e.
g. owing to accumulated mulched material),
the direction of rotation of the cutting roller
switches automatically. In this case switch the
machine off, wait until it stops and switch it on
again.
CUTTING ROLLER IS
BLOCKED
1. Place rotational direction switch (8) in the
left position, switch machine on. The cutting
roller (12) runs backwards and releases the
mulched material (or foreign material). A
special gear construction with rotational angle
play allows the motor to start in the opposite
rotational direction even if the cutting roller
(12) is blocked. It is not necessary to loosen
and readjust the pressure plate (11).
2. When the caught material is free, switch off
machine, set rotational direction switch (8) to
the right position and switch back on.
3. If the blocking cannot be eliminated by
actions 1 and 2, the cutting roller (12) must be
removed, checked for damage, and cleaned as
described in section “Exchanging the Cutting
Roller/Pressure Plate”.
EXCHANGING THE CUTTING
ROLLER/PRESSURE PLATE
WARNING! Before any work on the
machine itself, pull the mains plug.
WARNING! The blade is very
sharp. Wear thick gloves when
replacing the blade or carrying out any
maintenance.
