MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the machine from the 
electrical supply before carrying out ad-
justment or maintenance.

REPLACING THE BLADES

The blades of the shredder have two cutting edges, 
so they can be reversed.

When both edges are worn the blades must be re-
placed. Always replace with genuine replacement 
blades.

Replace the blades as follows:

1. Switch off the motor and unplug the shredder. 

Wait until the blades have stopped.

2. Loosen the locking knob and remove the fun-

nel.

Always wear safety gloves when clean-
ing or replacing the blade disc.

3. Loosen the screws with a screwdriver. There 

are holes in the blades to simplify this. Inserting 
the screwdriver through these holes prevents 
the rotary blade from turning (Fig. 15).

4. Reverse the blades and fit them with the sharp 

edge facing in the direction of rotation. Tighten 
the screws securely.

If both edges of the blades are worn, replace with 
genuine spare parts or resharpen.

SHARPENING BLADES

The blades are hardened and therefore must not be 
ground on an emery wheel.

They should only be sharpened wet on a whetstone 
or carborundum stone.

To avoid imbalance the blades must be ground so 
that each weighs exactly the same.

CLEANING

Always clean the compost shredder after you have 
used it. 

Turn off the motor and remove the plug from the 
wall socket. Loosen the locking knob and remove 
the funnel. Clean thoroughly round the rotary 
blade.

Never use water to clean the shredder!

Brush off any dirt or plant remains that are stuck to 
the blades.

SERVICE

Authorised service agents carry out repairs and
