5. Proper use
This electric garden refuse shredder is designed only
for shredding organic garden waste. Place biologi-
cally degradable material, e.g. leaves, branches,
dead flowers etc., into the loading funnel inlet.
Collecting the shredded material
A container can be placed underneath the ejector
opening to catch the shredded material.
6. Before starting up
6.1 Assembly (Fig. 2-11)
7. Starting up
7.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1 / item 3)
앬
Press the green knob to switch on the shredder.
앬
Press the red knob to switch it off.
Important:
The machine has a zero voltage switch.
This prevents the machine restarting unintentionally
after a power failure.
7.2 Switch for selecting the direction of rotation
(Fig. 1 / Item 4)
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.
7.3 Anti-blocking function
Important:
If the cutter drum jerks to a halt (e.g. due
to branches too thick for it to handle) the direction of
rotation will normally change automatically to reverse
running mode (but the direction selection switch (Fig.
1 / Item 4) remains in forwards running mode).
Turn off the machine and wait until it stops complete-
ly. The machine can now be restarted in forwards
running mode with the green ON button (Fig. 1 / Item
3).
7.3.1 Motor protection (Fig. 1 / Item 9)
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.
7.4 Practical tips
앬
Read the special and general safety instructions
(section 1).
앬
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
앬
Place the material you wish to shred into the
opening on the right-hand side (the blade rotates
anti-clockwise).
앬
The material is drawn into the shredder automati-
cally. CAUTION! Long pieces of material pro-
jecting out of the funnel inlet may whiplash when it
is drawn in – keep a safe distance between your-
self 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 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
