disconnect the plug. Loosen the star knob on the hopper,
which causes a built-in electric brake to lock the blade-
holder disc. Aft er opening the hopper, remove the cause of
the blockage and close the hopper. Insert the plug in the
socket and switch the machine back on.
Th
e machine must be positioned on a fl at and stable surface
to prevent the risk of tipping.
Th
e plug connection must be safe and protected from water.
Th
e extension cable must be slack and unwound in order to
prevent the risk of it melting due to heat build-up. Before
starting the machine, check the supply cable for signs of
damage. Th
e power of the motor decreases as the length
of the connection cable is extended.

WARNING - Portable machines used outdoors must
be connected with a safety switch (circuit breaker) to
protect against fault currents.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Th
e composting material should not be forced into the
opening but introduced liberally.
2. Introduce the composting material only when the
machine is switched on.
3. Where possible, ensure that only uncontaminated
material is processed. Soil considerably wears down
the blades, so any essential garden waste which is
contaminated with soil should only be shredded aft er
other materials have been processed.
4. Ensure that the discharge port is uncluttered at all times
and that it is kept at least 10 cm away from accumulated
shredded material. Otherwise, the machine will
immediately clog due to air stagnation.
5. Important: switch off the bioshredder only when there
is no more waste material in the cutting unit.
Th
is
will be evident when the cutting unit stops making a
noise. If the shredder is switched off while there is still
waste material in the cutting unit, the unit may become
blocked once the machine is switched back on.
6. Th
e side blade and shredding blade are subject to wear.
If the blades are worn, they can be resharpened to
facilitate processing. Th
is operation should be carried
out by an Authorised Dealer. Pay attention to prevent
the sides of the tempered blade from becoming burnt.
7. Clean the machine aft er each use, particularly aft er
shredding damp material.
SHREDDING TIPS
• Th
e shredded material should be neither too bulky
nor too fi ne in consistency; nevertheless it must be
suffi
ciently crushed to favour the proliferation of micro-
organisms .
• Waste card and cardboard (preferably moist in order
to accelerate the decomposition process) can also be
introduced into the hopper; the cutting unit is extremely
heavy-duty.
• Damp material such as vegetable waste, sodden leaves,
shrubs etc. can be shredded without a problem: there is
no risk of clogging .
COMPOSTING TIPS
• Use a wide variety of garden refuse.
• Mix the waste material thoroughly and deposit it in
layers.
• Mix grass cuttings with other waste to prevent mould
growth.
• Scatter micro-organisms (available in specialist stores)
amongst the shredded material to further accelerate the
decomposition process.
• Th
e abundance of air and water facilitates the
decomposition process (by enabling the micro-
organisms to fully develop).
• Avoid
inorganic
substances.
• Aft er several weeks, turn and sift the material in the
mound or composting container.
• Th
e fi nal product is a rich humus which makes an ideal
organic fertiliser for the garden .
• Using this organic fertiliser avoids the need to buy
costly additives.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - Disconnect the plug before performing
maintenance and cleaning operations, or before
opening the hopper.
Th
e planing blade and counterblade are subject to wear. If
the planing blades are worn, they can be rotated once.
To remove the blades, use a suitable tool and wear protective
gloves. Chock the blade-holder disc with a block of wood to
prevent it from turning.
Th
e cutting tools should only be replaced in bulk, or at least
in pairs, to prevent the risk of imbalance.
Use only original replacement parts.
To detach the blade-holder disc, loosen the M10 hex head
bolt and lift out the disc using a puller or lever.

TROUBLESHOOTING
A) Th
e machine switches off automatically aft er a certain
period of time.
Solution: Check that the mains fuse is still intact. If the
motor temperature is high, wait until it cools down. Also
check whether the supply cable is overheated. Overheating
of the cable indicates that the cable is too long or the cross-
section is too small. Use shorter or thicker cables in order
to make the machine function correctly.
B) Th
e machine doesn’t start and doesn’t make any sound.
Th
e switch won’t stay on.
Solution: Check that the star knob is completely tightened.
Insuffi
cient tightening means that the safety switch cannot
be deactivated. Check that the cable is connected and that
the power is switched on at both ends. Also check the fuse
if necessary. If the fault has not been resolved, contact your
nearest Authorised Dealer.
