4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5 - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

4-1. OPERATION Your Shredder has been designed for a low level of maintenance, involving routine cleaning and inspection. The motor of the Shredder is maintenance free and requires no attention. For the best results the blades must be kept sharp at all times. The blades have dramatically less cutting power when blunt. The Shredder will tear rather than cut when the blades are blunt. When this occurs rotate the double sided blades or replace the blades immediately. Read and understand the safety instructions in this owners manual before using your shredder. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury.

1. Connect the shredder to a suitable power outlet.

2. To start and stop the shredder, depress the switch

located at the rear of the Motor.

3. To stop the shredder, switch to the off position. (Fig .

4-1) WARNING Before removing discharge chute access knobs, ensure the machine is switched off, the red safety switch extension lead (A) (Fig. 5-2A) is removed and wait until the machine comes to a complete stop. To inspect or replace the double sided shredding blades, disconnect the power cord and open the Top Hopper. To remove blades, remove the counter sunk screws with the hex wrench supplied (Fig. 5-2B) . When blades are blunt on both sides replace with McCulloch blades and make sure they are screwed in tightly. WARNING 4-3 Before attempting any maintenance switch the machine off and disconnect the power cord. 4-4. FEEDING TWIGS AND SMALL BRANCHES - TOP HOPPER The smaller back chute of the top Hopper accepts medium to larger size garden clippings. Shredding and mulching is achieved through the same action as the front chute. If a finer type mulch is required than is initially achieved, re-feed the mulch through again until the desired result is obtained. (Fig. 4-4). Do not feed solid branches through the two Top Hopper chutes. Overload Protection Switch 4-1

4-2. OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND MOTOR

JAMMING If overfeeding clogs the machine the overload protection switch may cut out the motor. To restart, switch the machine off and disconnect the power cord. Loosen discharge chute access knobs and open top cover assembly, then remove any clogged debris from the cutting chamber. If the top cover assembly becomes jammed and will not lift off, turn the V-cutter by pushing a piece of wood through the back chute of the top hopper to rotate the Vcutter to enable the top cover assembly to be removed. Reset motor overload protection switch. (See Fig. 4-1) Switch the machine off and disconnect the power cord ensuring all moving parts are completely stopped. Wear gloves when attempting any maintenance to the cutting blades. JAMMING if blades become jammed refer to disassembly instructions and then remove obstruction. (Fig. 5-1A)

1. Open Top Hopper as illustrated in Fig. 5-1B

Take extreme care not to come in contact with cutting blades.

2. Remove obstruction from cutting chamber. Close Top

Hopper and retighten discharge chute access knobs.

5-2A If discharge chute becomes clogged or cutting blades become jammed, under no circumstances should you place your hands in discharge chute to try to clear obstruction, as this will lead to serious injury. 4-3. FEEDING LEAVES AND SMALL GARDEN CLIPPINGS - TOP HOPPER 5-2B 4-4 The sloping chute of the top hopper is designed to accept leaves and small garden clippings. Shredding and mulching is achieved by natural suction of the debris through the blade chamber. Do not overfeed and do not feed wet, soggy material into the garden shredder as this may clog the blade chamber and the discharge chute. (Fig. 4-3) 5-3. CLEANING After use, always wipe clean the outside of the shredder to remove any build up of material with a damp cloth. Clean the inside of the cutting chamber and remove any left over material, Do not hose down with water. 5-1A 5-1B
