Work instructions

Material supply

Insert the shredded material only, the rotating cutting roll will draw it in automatically.

• Insert such quantity of material not to clog the hopper.
• Do not shred soft waste without solid consistency but compost it directly.
• Make sure the shredded material exits to the collection box or bag without any restrictions - danger of clogging!
• Best results are achieved if you shred fresh branches shortly after cutting.

Adjustment of pressure plate

The pressure plate is calibrated by the manufacturer and requires no adjustment before first commissioning. Adjustment of the pressure plate is required in case of wear, e.g. when the branches wedge in chain each other and they can not be shredded correctly.

In this case proceed as follows:

Turn the engine on and slowly rotate the adjustment knob (Fig. A/9 or Fig. E/6) or Fig. H/13 clockwise to hear slight friction. The cutting roll sharpens the pressure plate to correct distance. Adjust the plate so that it is not worn too early.
