5. Proper use

This electric garden refuse shredder is designed only

for shredding organic garden waste. Place biologically degradable material, e.g. leaves, branches, dead flowers etc., into the loading funnel inlet.

Collecting the shredded material

A container can be placed underneath the ejector opening to catch the shredded material.

6. Before starting up

6.1 Assembly (Fig. 2)

● Take all the parts out of the packaging.
- Remove the two plastic parts fitted on the underside of the housing to protect the assembly screws for the chassis during transport.
● Fit the chassis to the housing using the two lock nuts (item 2). Use the assembly tool provided for the purpose.
● Fit the axle (item 3) to the chassis using the two M6 x 50 screws (item 4) and nuts (item 2). Use the assembly tool provided for this purpose.
● Push the wheels (item 5) on to the axle.
- Secure the wheel cover (item 6) on the axle using a hammer.

7. Starting up

7.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1 / item 3)

• Press the green knob to switch on the shredder.
• Press the red knob to switch it off.

Important: The machine has a zero voltage switch. This prevents the machine restarting unintentionally after a power failure.

7.2 Switch for selecting the direction of rotation (Fig. 1 / Item 4)

Important! The switch for selecting the direction of rotation can only be moved when the shredder is switched off.

Position "1"

The material is automatically drawn in by the blade and shredded.

Position "0"

The blade rotates in the opposite direction to release jammed material. After moving the selector switch to the "0" position, press and hold the green knob of the ON/OFF switch. The blade will start to rotate in the opposite direction. As soon as you release the ON/OFF switch, the shredder will stop automatically. Important! Always wait until the shredder has reached a standstill before you switch it on again.

Large items or pieces of wood will be discharged both in the cutting and in the release direction after the blade has been started and reversed several times.

7.3 Motor protection (Fig. 1 / Item 2)

An overload (for example if the blade is jammed) will cause the machine to cut out after a few seconds. To protect the motor from damage the motor protection switch stops the power supply automatically. Wait for at least one minute before you press the reset knob so that you can restart the machine.

Then press the ON/OFF switch.

If the blade becomes jammed, turn the switch for selecting the direction of rotation to the left to position "1" before you switch on the shredder again.

7.4 Practical tips

● Read the special and general safety instructions
(section 1).
● Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
● Place the material you wish to shred into the opening on the right-hand side (the blade rotates anti-clockwise).
- The material is drawn into the shredder automatically. CAUTION! Long pieces of material projecting out of the funnel inlet may whiplash when it is drawn in – keep a safe distance between yourself and the machine.
● Judge the quantity of material which you put into the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not clog.
- If you want to shred withered, damp material that has been lying in the garden for several days, alternate between putting in this material and branches. This will help to prevent the loading funnel becoming clogged with material.
- Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) – put it straight in the compost box.
● Entangled branches and leaves should be thoroughly shredded before loading any more material.
- Do not allow the discharge opening to become clogged with shredded material – risk of pile-ups.
- Do not cover the ventilation slits.
- Do not place heavy material or thick branches into the machine continuously. This may cause the blade to jam.
- Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed objects from the funnel or discharge openings.

Important: The material will be crushed, mashed and shredded by the cutting unit, thus accelerating

GB

GB

the decomposition process for composting.

and release the jammed material.

7.5 Adjusting the counter blade (Fig. 3)

The counter blade and cutting unit are perfectly adjusted at the factory. Only if it suffers wear does the counter blade require adjustment (switch the machine on for this purpose). To ensure the best possible results from your shredder, the gap between the counter blade (item B) and the shredding blade (item A) should be approx. 0.50 mm. There is an adjustment device on the right-hand side of the plastic housing for this purpose. Insert the supplied Allen key (item D) and turn it clockwise so that the screw (item C) moves towards the shredding blade. After a half-turn the counter blade will have moved 0.50 mm closer to the shredding blade. After completing this adjustment check whether the blade produces the desired results.

IMPORTANT: If the shredding blade touches the counter blade, it will cut it and small metal chips may fall out of the discharge opening. This is not a fault, but it must only be adjusted as much as necessary since otherwise the counter blade will suffer premature wear.

8. Troubleshooting

Motor does not run

• The motor protection switch has tripped. Move the switch for selecting the direction of rotation to position "0" and press the reset knob. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch to switch on the shredder after a brief delay. Once the blockage has been cleared, return the switch for selecting the direction of rotation to position "1".
  ● Power failure Check the mains lead, plug and fuse.

Material is not drawn in by the shredder

● The shredding blade rotates backwards Check the direction of rotation
- Material blockage in the funnel Move the switch for selecting the direction of rotation to position "0" and switch on the shredder. Pull the material out of the funnel. Feed in thick branches again so that the blade does not immediately engage again in the notches it previously cut.
- The shredding blade is jammed Move the switch for selecting the direction of rotation to position "0" and switch on the shredder. The blade will now rotate in the opposite direction

Important! Do not change the direction of rotation until the shredder has reached a complete standstill.

9. Care and maintenance

Caution! Interrupt the power supply by pulling the plug out of the socket-outlet before you carry out any checks or maintenance work on the machine.

● Clean the machine regularly. This will help to keep the machine in good working order and is the basis for a long working life.
- Keep the vent slots clean while you work.
● Clean the plastic body and other plastic parts with a mild household cleaning agent and a damp cloth. Do not use any aggressive agents or solvents for cleaning purposes.
● Never clean the shredder by spraying with water.
● Prevent water getting inside the machine at all cost.
- Check the chassis securing screws from time to time to ensure that they are tight.
- If you do not intend to use the shredder for a lengthy period, protect it from corrosion using environmentally friendly oil.
