4. Proper operation

This electric garden refuse shredder is designed only for shredding organic garden waste. Place biologically degradable material, e.g. leaves and branches, into the loading funnel.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

Collecting the shredded material

The shredded material bag supplied with the machine can be placed under the chute opening.

5. Assembling the garden shredder

The garden shredder is delivered unassembled. The chassis and the wheels must be fitted before use. Follow the operating instructions step-by-step and use the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily assemble the machine.

5.1 Assembling the chassis (Fig. 3)

• Place the motor housing upside down on the floor.
• Insert the chassis into the provided openings as far as it will go.

5.2 Assembling the axle and wheels (Figs. 4-10)

• Remove the nuts and washers from the axle.
• Mount the chassis as shown in Figs. 4-10.

6. Starting up

6.1 Connecting up the machine and switching it on

• Connect the coupling on the machine connection cable (extension) to the power cable (Fig. 1/Item 9).

• The machine can be switched ON (switch position "1") and OFF (switch position "0") using the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 11).

Note: The machine cannot be switched on if there is no voltage being supplied to it. If the power supply is interrupted, the machine will switch off automatically (switch position "0"). The machine cannot be switched on again until the voltage supply has been re-established and the ON/OFF switch has been moved to position "1".

6.2 Overload protection (motor circuit-breaker)

The motor is protected from overloads by an overload switch.

During operation the control pin projects out of the overload switch housing by around 4mm . If the motor is overloaded for a lengthy period, the overload switch (Fig. 3/Item 10) will trip and switch off the machine. In this case the pin on the overload switch will project out of the housing by around 8mm and the ON/OFF switch will automatically move to "0". After waiting for at least 1 minute the control pin in the overload switch can be pressed and the ON/OFF switch then switched on again (switch position "I"). If the motor fails to start, clean the ejector chute.

6.3 Cleaning the ejector chute

Always wear heavy duty working gloves
- Ensure that the switch is set to the "0" position
- Disconnect the coupling on the machine connec
tion cable (extension) from the machine plug
- Unscrew the safety screw (Figure 1/item 12) and then pull up the loading funnel (Figure 11).
- Clean the cutting surfaces of the blades, the blade plate and the ejector chute with a brush or paintbrush. Remove pieces of wood or other parts that may prevent the blade plate from turning.
- Close the loading funnel again and tighten the safety screw.

6.4 Safety

The shredder has a safety switch (Figure 12/Item A) in its interior on the motor housing. The control unit for it (Figure 13/Item D) is located on the loading funnel.

If the loading hopping is not perfectly position or if it is not pressed against the motor housing, the SAFETY SWITCH will trip and prevent the motor from working. If this situation occurs, open the loading funnel as described above. Carefully clean the interior. Close the loading funnel again as described above and ensure that when you switch on the machine again

the loading funnel is correctly position and the safety screw is screwed right in.

CAUTION! NEVER undo the release screw (Figure 1/Item 12) without first switching off the machine at the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 11) and disconnecting the coupling on the machine connection cable (extension) from the machine plug.

7. Notes on working practice

• Wear work gloves, goggles and ear muffs.
  Material placed in the loading funnel is automatically drawn into the shredder. CAUTION! Long pieces of material projecting out of the machine may whiplash when it is drawn in - keep a safe distance from the machine.
• Judge the quantity of material which you put into the loading funnel so that it does not cloq.
• 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.
• Do not shred extremely soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) - put it straight in the compost box.
• Entangled branches and leaves should be thoroughly shredded before loading any more material.
• Do not allow the ejector outlet of the funnel to become clogged with shredded material – since this may result in material pile-ups.
• Do not cover the vent slots.

8. Replace, sharp and change blades

The blades on the blade plate are replaceable. If you have to replace any blade, you must only use genuine blades to ensure that they meet the relevant quality and safety criteria.

Please note: For safety reasons we recommend that you have all sharpening and blade replacement work carried out by a specialist workshop.

Always wear heavy duty working gloves

Remove the blade screws (Fig. 12/Item C) to replace the blades (Fig. 12/Item B). The blades can now be turned or replaced with new blades. Assemble in reverse order.

9. Care and maintenance

Important! Before carrying our any inspection or servicing work on the machine, disconnect it from the power supply by disconnecting the machine connection cable (extension) from the machine plug.

If repairs are necessary, please contact our customer service center.

• Use only genuine spare parts.
• Clean the machine regularly. This will help to keep the machine in good working order and is the basis for a long working life.
• When you have finished your work, pull the loading funnel forwards and clean the inside. Use a brush to remove deposits from metal parts on the inside. Apply a thin coating of oil to the cleaned blade plate and blades.
• When you close the loading funnel, make sure that the safety switch and the release screw are clean.
• Keep the vent slots clean while you work.
• Clean the plastic body and other plastic parts with a mild household cleaning agent and a damp cloth. Do not use any aggressive agents or solvents for cleaning purposes.
• Never spray down the shredder with water.
• Prevent water getting inside the machine at all costs.

Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.

To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.

Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:

As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the device is properly recycled if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in accordance with national commercial and industrial waste management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment without any electrical components which are included with the used device.

Given unfavorable conditions in the power supply the equipment may cause the voltage to drop temporarily. If the supply impedance "Z" at the connection point to the public power supply exceeds 0,391 Ohm it may be necessary to take further measures before the equipment can be used as intended from this power supply. If necessary, you can ask your local electricity supply company for the impedance value.
