Make  sure  that  the  machine  is  switched  off  and  un-

plugged before opening the blade cover.

Wear  protective  groves  before  opening  the  blade 

cover.

The cutter does not stop immediately after switch off. 

Wait until all the parts stop.

I

OPERATION

Set up the machine:

On a 

flat,

level

 surface. Do not place the machine 

on

graveled ground.

Work at

 a safe distance (at least 2 m) away from  

walls or 

other objects.

Before starting, make sure that:

The connection cables are not damaged. If there 

are

cuts 

or tears, stop operation and replace it immediately.

There  is  no  damage  on  the  machine,  and  all  screws 

are tight.

The machine is assembled completely and correctly.

Check the mains connection:

Make  sure  that  the  mains  voltage  matches  the  rated 

voltage on the nameplate and the machine is properly 

grounded. 

Use  only  extension  cords  with 

sufficient

  core 

cross-section.

f 

material: 

All types of branches up to the 

machine's maximum

diameter

 capacity

 of 40mm

, depending on type and 

condition 

of

 the

 wood

.

Dry g

arden  refuse  such  as  plants

, which should

be

dried before shredding and f

ed alternat

ely with 

branches

 to avoid blocking the shredder.

The  shredder  can  NOT  process

 the

  following 

t

ypes  

of 

material: 

Glass,  metal,  plastic,  stone,  ceramics,  thicker 

branches, hard wood, thick wood plates, cloth, plastic 

bags, roots with soil.

Refuse

which is 

in an

almost liquid state, e.g. kitchen 

waste

. 

Operation: (Fig. 8)

Feed the material into the 

filling

 hopper from the right 

side. 

In case of branches, twigs and wood, shred them just 

after  they  are  cut.  They  may  get  very  hard  as  they 

become dry.

Remove any side shoots from branches if they are not 

easy to feed.

Turn off the motor and disconnect the machine from the 

power supply before cleaning

 the

 ejection opening.

Do not let the shredded material accumulate in

 the

ejec

tion opening. Otherwise the shredded material

may 

block the ejection opening. Empty the 

collection

box 

regularly.

Do not 

shr

ed material which is more than the maximum 

branch diameter 

of 40mm

. 

The maximum branch 

diameter may vary depending on the 

freshness and  

condition of the wood

. 

Shredding wet garden waste 

may

 clog

 the shredder

. 

To reduce the chance of

  the  machine  clogging   

alternate waste with 

wood.

Soft  material  or  wet  branches  may  be  torn  instead  of 

being cut.

 A

w

orn counter blade may 

a

lso cause this 

problem.

Adjusting the blade clearance (Fig. 9)

For an effective operation, adjust the clearance between 

the counter blade and cutting roller.

Setting the clearance:

Switch on the device.

Turn  the 

fixing

  knob  counterclockwise  to  release  the 

adjusting knob.

Turn the adjusting knob clockwise slowly to place the 

counter blade closer to the cutting roller. Turn it until 

fine 

aluminum chips are falling from the ejection opening. 

Turn  the 

fixing

  knob  clockwise  to  lock  the  adjusting 

knob.

MAINTENANCE

 CAUTION:

Always be sure that the machine is switched off and 

un

plugged before inspectin

maintenance. 

The cutter does not stop immediately after switch off. 

Wait  until  all  the  parts  stop  before  performing  any 

maintenance work.

Make sure that all the tools are removed after 

mainte

nance work.

Never  use 

petrol

,  benzine,  thinner,  alcohol  or 

similar.

Discoloration,  deformation  or  cracks  may  result. 

To  clean  the  machine,  use  only  moist  cloth  and  soft 

brush.

Do not hose or clean the machine with high pressured 

water. 

After each operation, perform the following maintenance: 

Check whether all the locking screws are tight (tighten 

if necessary). 

Lubricate  metal  parts  to  protect  them  against 

corrosion. 

Keep the vents clean and free from dust.

The cutting roller and counter blade

 will

 wear out

Before 

o

peration, adjust the Adjusting Knob to

 release

any foreign objects which may interfere with the

Cutting

Roller and Counter Blade

.

Switch on the tool, then adjust the 

Adjusting Knob, you

should

 hear the 

C

utting 

Roller touching the Counter Blade.

The shredder should produce small metal filings. Tighten

the Fixing Knob, 

make sure the Counter Blade is 

tight

.

REVERSE SWITCH

The shredder is fitted with a 

r

everse switch to enable 

the removal of jammed material. If material becomes 

jammed stop the machine by pressing the OFF 

button.

When the machine has come to a complete stop 

change the direction of rotation by 

pressing the reverse

arrow o

n the

 reverse switch and pressing 

the ON button

(note that the machine will not 

stay

 ON

 while in reverse

-- the button has to be held down).

 When the blockage

has cleared

,

 stop the machine and 

return the reverse

switch to its original position. Do not 

continue to run the

machine in reverse mode as this 

could cause injury to 

the operator or damage to the 

machine.
