À Electrical safety =“ Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60 245 (H 07

RN-F) with a core cross-section of at least

1.5 mm? for cable lengths up to 25 m — 2.5 mm? for cable lengths over 25 m Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the func- tion ofthe device is reduced. Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be made of rubber, plasticised PVC or other thermoplastic material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this material. The connector ofthe connection cable must be splash-proof. When running the connection line observe that it does not interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection does not get wet. Wind off completely the cable when using à cable drum. Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the socket. Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if they are damaged. Do not use any defective connection cables. When working outdoors, only use extension cables especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor use. Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.

=“ Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them. = Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit breaker (30 mA).

À The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the machine must be carried out by a certified electrician or one of our customer service points. Local regulations - espe- cially regarding protective measures - must be observed. Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service points.

Use only original spare. Accidents can arise for the user through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is

not liable for any damage or injury resulting from such ac- tion.

"Check that the machine is completely and correctly assem- bled. “ To avoid toppling, place the shredder on a firm horizontal surface. “ Do not place the equipment on ground which is paved or surfaced with gravel. “ The machine should only be operated in the open. Always maintain à safe distance (at least 2 m) from walls or other fixed objects. “ Before each use, check — Connection cables for defects (cracks, cuts, etc.). À Do notuse any defective cables.

— There are no damage at the machine (see safety instruc- tions).

— Allscrews are tight.

"Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g. 230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the relevant and properly earthed plug.

=" Only use extension cables with sufficient core cross-section.

Electrical mains supply impedance

When conditions in the electrical mains supply are un-favourable, voltage reductions for short periods can occur during the process of tuning on the equipment, which can adversely affect other equipment (e.g., the flickering of a lamp).

No breakdowns are to be expected if the maximum, electrical mains supply impedances given in the table are met.

Working with the garden shredder

“Choose a working position alongside the equipment or behind it Never stand near the ejection opening.

À Longer material that is protruding from the device could spring back when it is drawn in by the blades! Observe safety distance!

"Never reach into the filling or ejection opening.

"Keep your face and body away from the filling opening.

"Never place hands, other parts of the body or clothing into the filler funnel, ejection channel or in the vicinity of other moving parts.

=" Check before powering the device up that:

— no material residues are in the filling hopper, — the retaining basket is locked.

“Do nottip ortiltthe machine when the motor is running.

=“ When filing, 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 equip- ment 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, — _ checkthe equipment and tighten loose parts.

> Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded mate- rial blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the filler opening. Empty the retaining basket on a regular basis.

> 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 speci- fied (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (S see ‘Technical data”). Depending on the wood's nature and freshness the maximum branch diameter the machine can process may be smaller.

Maintenance and cleaning

Adjusting the fixed counter blade

Itis possible to adjust the counter blade (B) at the cutting roller (A) free of clearance. For an effective operation, an as small as possible clearance should be maintained.

Soft material or wet branches may tear instead of being cut. À counter blade that is worn after repeated use may also lead to this problem.

Setting the clearance.

Switch on the device.

There is an adjustment device on the right hand side of the plastic housing. To adjust the distance turn the adjusting knob (D) clock- wisely so that the screw (C) moves toward the cutting roller. Turn until fine aluminium chips are falling from the ejection slot.

< 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 fol- lowing:

— Keep ventslits 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 de- vice 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 envi- ronment-compatible biodegradable spray oil to protect them against corrosion.

— the cutting roller and shaving plate are expendable parts, though with normal use and correct adjustment they have a service life of many years.

Before each fault elimination: — Switch off device,

— Wait for standstill of the device. — Pull out mains plug.
