GB

If the motor fails to start, clean the ejector chute (see
7.3.).

7.3 OPENING THE PLATE-HOPPER

-  always wear gloves
-  ensure that the switch be on OFF position 

(Fig. 2b/Item 10)

-  disconnect the plug from the mains
-  unscrew the knob (Fig. 2b/Item 11) and lift the 

hopper (Fig. 2a/Item2);

-  clean cut and discharge area and remove wood sticks

or objects which may clog the blades.
Lower the hopper (Fig. 2a/Item 2) and tighten up the
knob (Fig. 2b/item 10) tightly before activating the On
switch.

7.4 SAFETY INTERLOCK

The apparatus is fitted with a safety switch on the closure
between the hopper  and the lower plate. If the hopper is
not perfectly placed and fixed against the lower plate, the
SAFETY SWITCH will trigger, stopping the motor from
working; should this occur, disassemble the hopper as
explained in the previous paragraph.
Carefully clean the 2 plates contacting faces.
Refit carefully and tighten the knob right down.
CAUTION: NEVER slacken off the knob (Fig. 2b/Item 11)
without having turned off the switch (Fig. 2b/Item 10) and
pulled the plug out of the socket.

7.5 BLADES

The blades (Fig. 9-10) of the blade-holding plate are
reversible.
For quality safety’ sake, we recommend that, in case of
substitution, you use original blades only.

REVERSING, SUBSTITUTION OF BLADES 
(fig. 9-10)

We suggest that the above operations be carried out by
qualified Service Stations.
The (reversible) blades are fixed to the rotary plate with
two screws each. Before any maintenance or cleaning
work on the blades, always turn the switch OFF and
disconnect the plug from the socket.

7.6 Practical tips 

앬

Wear work gloves, goggles and ear muffs.

앬

Material placed in the loading funnel inlet is 
automatically drawn into the shredder.  

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.

앬

Judge the quantity of material which you put into 
the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not clog. 

앬

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.

앬

Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) – put 
it straight in the compost box.

앬

Entangled branches and leaves should be 
thoroughly shredded before loading any more 
material.

앬

Do not allow the ejector outlet of the funnel to 
become clogged with shredded material – risk of 
pile-ups.

앬

Do not cover the vent slots.

8. Care and maintenance

Caution! Interrupt the power supply by pulling the plug out
of the socket-outlet before you carry out any checks or
maintenance work on the machine.

앬

Clean the machine regularly. This will help to keep 
the machine in good working order and is the 
basis for a long working life.

앬

When you are finished with your work, take off the 
loading funnel and clean the inside. Use a brush to 
remove deposits from metal parts on the inside. 
When you mount the loading funnel, make sure 
that the safety switch and the release screw are 
clean.

앬

Keep the vent slots clean while you work.

앬

Clean the plastic body and other plastic parts with 
a mild household cleaning agent and a damp 
cloth. Do not use any aggressive agents or 
solvents for cleaning purposes.

앬

Never clean the shredder by spraying with water.

앬

Prevent water getting inside the machine at all 
cost.
