shredded material debris box runs above the
guide rails (Fig. 4/Item A).
5.
Lock the shredded material debris box with
safety switch (Fig. 12/Item A) in position by
pushing upwards.
6. Operation
Please observe the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement during operating times, which may
differ from town to town.
6.1 Mains connection
Connect the device with an extension lead
connected to the integrated power plug (Fig. 13/Item
E). Be sure to observe the relevant information in the
safety instructions.
6.2 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 13/Item B)
앬
Press the green knob to switch on the shredder.
앬
Press the red knob to switch it off.
Note:
The device has a zero voltage switch. This
prevents the device restarting unintentionally after a
power failure.
6.3 Safety switch (Fig. 12/Item A)
When using the device the shredded material debris
box must be securely in position and the safety
switch locked as shown in Fig. 12.
6.4 Direction selection switch (Fig.13/Item C)
Important! The switch for selecting the direction
of rotation can only be moved when the shredder
is switched off.
Position “
⇓
”
The material is automatically drawn in by the blade
and shredded.
Position “
⇑
”
The blade rotates in the opposite direction to release
jammed material. After moving the selector switch to
the “
⇑
” position, press and hold the green knob of the
ON/OFF switch. The blade will start to rotate in the
opposite direction. As soon as you release the
ON/OFF switch, the shredder will stop automatically.
Important! Always wait until the shredder has
reached a standstill before you switch it on
again.
Large items or pieces of wood will be discharged
both in the cutting and in the release direction after
the blade has been started and reversed several
times.
6.5 Motor protection (Fig. 13 / Item D)
An overload (for example if the blade is jammed) will
cause the machine to cut out after a few seconds. To
protect the motor from damage the motor protection
switch stops the power supply automatically. Wait for
at least one minute before you press the reset knob
so that you can restart the machine.
Then press the ON/OFF switch.
If the blade becomes jammed, turn the switch for
selecting the direction of rotation to the left to
position “
⇑
” before you switch on the shredder again.
6.6 Practical tips
앬
Be sure to observe the safety instructions (see
supplied booklet).
앬
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
앬
Place the material you wish to shred into the ope-
ning on the right-hand side (the blade rotates anti-
clockwise).
앬
The material is drawn into the shredder automatic-
ally. 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 tho
roughly shredded before loading any more materi-
al.
앬
Do not allow the discharge opening to become
clogged with shredded material – risk of pile-ups.
앬
Do not cover the ventilation slits.
앬
Do not place heavy material or thick branches into
the machine continuously. This may cause the
blade to jam.
앬
Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed objects
from the funnel or discharge openings.
Important:
The material will be crushed, mashed
and shredded by the cutting unit, thus accelerating
the decomposition process for composting.
6.7. Emptying the shredded material debris box
The level of material in the shredded material debris
box can be checked by looking through the slots on
the side of the cover.
Always empty the shredded material debris box in
