15 What can | shred?

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

No: e glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots with soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.

1& Special tips on shredding:

Branches, twigs and wood should be broken down immedi-

ately after they have been cut.

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

Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number

How to shred garden and kitchen waste with hight water con-

tent 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 mate-

rial 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

Please do not exceed the maximum branch diameter speci-

fied (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (Z see p. 16).

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 them-

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 en-

sures that the machine turns itself off automatically.

— _ Tumthe shredder on again after about 5 minutes.

— _Ifyou cannot turn on the machine after this waiting time re- ferto ,Operational faults".

Remove the mains plug before changing the blades.

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

Fix the blade. DM Lettha/d thread

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

All knive edges have become blunt: Replace with new set of knives (order-no. 382425).

Maintenance and cleaning

Each time before starting maintenance work: — Switch offthe 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 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 notclean 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 corro- sion.

Please observe the enclosed terms of guarantee.

Before each fault elimination:

— Switch off device,

— Wait for standstill of the garden shredder. — Pull out mains plug.
