operating this machine
• When feeding material into the machine be extremely
careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or
other foreign objects are not included
• If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects
or if the machine should start making any unusual
noise or vibration, shut off the power source and
allow the machine to stop ( electric unit disconnect
from supply) and take the following steps:
1. Inspect for damage
2. Check for and tighten any loose parts
3. Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with
parts having equivalent specifications
• Do not allow processed material to build up in the
discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge
and can result kickback of material through the feed
intake opening
• If the machine becomes clogged, shut of the power
source (electric unit disconnect from supply) before
clearing debris. Keep the power source clear of
debris and other accumulations to prevent damage
to the power source or possible fire. Remember that
operating the starting mechanism on engine powered
machines will still cause the cutting means to move
• Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good
working condition
• Do not tamper with the power source governor
settings; the governor controls the safe maximum
operating speed and protects the power source and
all moving parts from damage caused by over speed.
Seek authorized service if a problem exists.
• Do not transport this machine while the power source
is running
• Shut off the power source (electric unit disconnect
from supply) whenever you leave the work area
• Do not tilt the machine while the power source is
Running
On/off switch (Fig. 5)
• Press the on/off switch to start and/or stop the
machine.
Note: the machine is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent it from being switched on again
accidentally after a power failure.
Overload protection
Overload (e.g. blocking up of the cutting blades) leads
to a standstill of the machine after a few seconds. To
protect the motor from being damaged, the overload
switch (10) will cut the mains automatically.
Wait at least 1 minute before restarting by first pressing
the reset button and then the on/off switch.
In the event of blocking of the cutting blade, turn the
rotational direction switch to the right position before
switching the shredder on again
If the motor does not restart, do the following:
• Remove the plug from the mains socket.
• Loosen the hand screw (2) and open the top part
upwards.
• Clean carefully the cutting and discharge parts and
remove any objects that could obstruct the blades.
• Put the top part back and tighten the hand screw
firmly.
• Press the reset button before pressing the On/Off
switch.
Attention! Always wear safety gloves when ex-
ecuting the steps mentioned above!
Safety lock
The shredder is equipped with the safety switch at the lock
between the top and bottom parts.
If the top part does not fit perfectly and sit fast on the
bottom part, the SAFETY SWITCH is
activated and the motor will not work. If this happens:
• Remove the plug from the mains socket.
• Remove the top part, as described in the previous
paragraph.
• Clean carefully the cutting and discharge parts and
remove any objects that could obstruct the blades.
• Put them together again and tighten the hand screw
firmly.
ATTENTION: Never loosen the hand screw be-
fore first turning off the On/Off switch and remov-
ing the plug from the mains socket.
