Disposal

Power tools do not belong in household garbage. Bring the device, accessories and packaging to an environmentally-friendly recycling location.

Operation

Times of operation

• Please consult regional/local regulations.
• Inquire about the operating times at your local regulatory agency.

Connect to the socket (230 Volt, 50 Hz)

- Only connect the equipment to sockets which are shielded with a 16 Amp. fuse (inertial or LS switch type B).

Note: Residual current protection device

These safeguards provide protection against severe injuries resulting from touching damaged cables, insulation defects and in some cases cables that conduct electricity.

• We recommend that the equipment only be plugged into a power socket, which is protected by a residual current protection device (RCD) with a residual current of no more than 30 mA.
• Retrofit kits are available for old installations. Consult an electrician.

Working with the garden chopper

Wear protective gloves and hearing protection!

• Adopt a working position at the side of or behind the appliance. Never stand in the area of the discharge opening.
  ● Never put your hands in the feed or discharge opening.
• Before switching on the appliance check whether there is any chaff in the hopper.
• If foreign bodies should enter the hopper or should the appliance make unusual noises or vibrations, switch the appliance off immediately and allow it to come to a standstill. Remove the mains plug and carry out the following:

- Check the appliance and tighten any loose parts.

- Replace damaged parts.

- Repairs to the appliance must be performed by an authorised service centre.

What can be chopped

- Organic waste from the house and garden e.g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers, kitchen scraps.

What cannot be chopped?

● Glass, metal parts, plastics, plastic bags, stones, material waste, roots with earth, food, fish and meat waste

Switching on / off

    Process --> C["C"]

• Press the green button to switch on B
• Press the red button to switch off C

The machine has a circuit breaker to prevent switching back on unintentionally after a power cut.

Overload protection

An overloading of the appliance (e.g. culminating in the blocking of the blades) can lead to the standstill of the appliance after a few seconds. To protect the motor from damage the appliance is automatically disconnected from the mains by the overload protection.

- Before putting into operation again wait for at least one minute before immediately pressing the reset button A and then ON/OFF switch. If the motor does not start, clean the collection hopper (see Maintenance).

Special instructions for chopping

• Chop branches, twigs and wood shortly after cutting (this chopped material will become very hard once it has dried out, therefore the maximum diameter which can be processed is less).
• Remove the side shoots on severely ramified branches.
• When processing garden or kitchen waste with a high water content with a tendency to stick, crush alternately with wooden chopping material to avoid blocking the appliance.
• Do not allow the chopping material in the area of the discharge opening to accumulate too high. This can lead to material which is already chopped blocking the discharge channel. This can cause a kickback of the material through the filling opening.
• Ensure that the maximum branch diameter for processing permitted for your appliance is observed.
  ● The blade unit pulls in the chopping material largely by itself.
• Do not overload or block the motor in the case of tough branches by frequently pulling back the branch.
