• 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.

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 - especially 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 parts and accessories. 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 action.

Start-up

• Check that the machine is completely and correctly assembled.
• To avoid toppling, place the chopper 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 a safe distance (at least 2 m) from walls or other fixed objects.

• Before using the shredder, make sure each time that

• there are no faulty connections (tears, cuts, etc.)
  there are no damage at the machine

• all screws are tight

Mains connection

• 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 connection cables with sufficient diameters
• Fuse protection

Electrical mains supply impedance

When conditions in the electrical mains supply are unfavourable, voltage reductions for short periods can occur during the process of turning 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.

Power consumption P1 (watts)	Electrical mains supply impedance Zmax(Ω)
2000	0,25
2400 - 2500	0,24

Switching on

Press the green 'I' button. The equipment will switch off automatically if there is a power cut (no-voltage release). Repress the green button to switch it on again.

Switching off

You can switch off the saw by pressing the red lower button of the switch

Motor guard

The motor is equipped with a guard switch and it switches off automatically when overloaded. The motor can be switched on again after a cooling-down period (approximately 5 min.). Repress the green button too.

Working with the garden chopper

• Choose a working position alongside the equipment or behind it. Never stand near the ejecting opening.
• 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 that no chopped residues are in the filling hopper before switching on the equipment.
• 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 chop?

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 informations on the chopping dure:

• 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 it therefore makers sense to reduce the maximum branch diameters, so that it is ready for chopping.
• Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number of twigs.

• How to chop 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 chopped 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 for your appliance ( see p. 16).
• 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

• during those five minutes you cannot turn the machine, see point „Operational faults".

Changing the blades

Remove the mains plug before maintenance and care.

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

Fix the blade with the ring spanner.

Reduced output

One edge of the knife has become blunt

Turn knife so that you can use the other edge

ring spanner

Both edge of the knives have become blunt

replace with sew set of knives (order-no. 382068)

Maintenance and Care

Remove the mains plug before maintenance and care.

Take care when maintaining the cutting equipment to ensure that the cutters can still be operated by the starter mechanism, even if the motor is not running because the cover has been unlocked.

Wear protective gloves.

Generally garden shredders require little maintenance.

To maintain their efficiency and a long life, observe the following:

• After shredding, the machine must be cleaned inside and outside

Fix the blade with the ring spanner.

• Slightly grease polished metal components immediately after use (to prevent rusting)
