• Do not tip or tilt the machine when the motor is running.
• When filling, be careful that no pieces of metal, stones, bottles or other objects unintended for processing, enter the filling hopper.
• Immediately switch off the equipment and allow it to come to a stop, if foreign objects enter the filling hopper or if the equipment starts to make unusual noises or vibrates. Remove the mains plug and carry out the following checks:

inspect for damage,
- replace or repair damaged parts,
- check the equipment and tighten loose parts.

You must not repair the equipment yourself if you are unauthorized to do so.

What can I shred?

Yes:

organic household and garden waste e. g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers and vegetable kitchen waste.

No:

• glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots with soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.

Special tips on shredding:

Branches, twigs and wood should be broken down immediately after they have been cut.

• Material of this kinds gets very hard when it is dry, and the maximum allowed branch diameter to be processed has to be reduced.

Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number of twigs.

How to shred garden and kitchen waste with hight water content and a tendency to clog
- to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate waste with wood containing material.
Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded material blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the filler opening.
Clean out the filler opening and ejection channel thoroughly if the machine becomes blocked. Before doing this, switch the motor off and disconnect the machine from the mains power supply.
Please do not exceed the maximum branch diameter specified (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance ( see p. 15). Depending on the wood's nature and freshness the maximum branch diameter the machine can process may be smaller.
The blades largely pull the material into the machine by themselves.
Strong branches may cause overloading. This can be avoided by pulling them back from time to time.
If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor switch ensures that the machine turns itself off automatically.

• Turn the shredder on again after about 5 minutes.
• If you cannot turn on the machine after this waiting time refer to „Operational faults".

Changing the blades

Remove the mains plug before changing the blades.

Risk of injury to the fingers and hands when carrying out work on the blade unit. Wear protective gloves.

Open the machine.

Fix the blade.

Reduced output

One edge of the knife has become blunt:
Turn knife so that you can use the other edge.

All knife edges have become blunt:

Replace with new set of knives (order-no. 382425).

Maintenance and cleaning

Each time before starting maintenance work:

• Switch off the motor and pull out the mains plug.
• Wear protective gloves to prevent injury.

The cutters will not come to a standstill immediately after cut-off. Before starting any service work wait until all parts are stationary.

Be sure to have removed any tools from the machine after completion of service work.

• Generally garden shredders require little maintenance. To maintain their efficiency and a long life, observe the following:

• Keep vent slits clean and free from obstructions.

• Check the locking screws (tighten where necessary).

Clean the device after shredding.

To clean your product only use a warm moist cloth and a soft brush.

Never use cleaning agents or solvents. Otherwise the device may be damaged irreversibly. Plastic parts may be corroded by chemicals.

• Do not clean the machine with running water or high-pressure cleaners.

After each operation treat bare metal parts with an environment-compatible biodegradable spray oil to protect them against corrosion.
