Residual risks

Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment's construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

5. Installation

The garden shredder is delivered unassembled. The chassis and the wheels must be fitted before use. Follow the operating instructions step-by-step and use the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily assemble the machine rpm

5.1 Assembling the chassis (Fig. 3)

• Place the motor housing upside down on the floor.
• Insert the chassis into the provided openings as far as it will go.

kg

5.2 Assembling the axle and wheels (Figs. 4-10)

• Remove the nuts and washers from the axle.
• Mount the chassis as shown in Figs. 4-10.

6. Operation

Please observe the statutory regulations governing noise abatement during operating times, which may differ from town to town.

6.1 Connecting up the machine and switching it on

Connect the coupling on the machine connection cable (extension) to the power cable (Fig. 1/Item 9).
The machine can be switched ON (switch position "1") and OFF (switch position "0") using the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 11).

Note: The machine cannot be switched on if there is no voltage being supplied to it. If the power supply is interrupted, the machine will switch off automatically (switch position "0"). The machine cannot be switched on again until the voltage supply has been re-established and the ON/OFF switch has been moved to position "1".

6.2 Overload protection (motor circuit-breaker)

The motor is protected from overloads by an overload switch.

During operation the control pin projects out of the overload switch housing by around 4mm . If the motor is overloaded for a lengthy period, the overload switch will trip and switch off the machine. In this case the pin on the overload switch will project out of the housing by around 8mm and the ON/OFF switch will automatically move to "0".

After waiting for at least 1 minute the control pin in the overload switch can be pressed and the ON/OFF switch then switched on again (switch position "I").

GB

If the motor fails to start, clean the ejector chute.

6.3 Practical tips

• Be sure to observe the safety instructions (see supplied booklet).
  Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
  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.

6.4 Safety

The shredder has a safety switch (Figure 12a/Item A) in its interior on the motor housing. The control unit for it (Figure 13/Item F) is located on the loading funnel. If the loading hopping is not perfectly position or if it is not pressed against the motor housing, the SAFETY SWITCH will trip and prevent the motor from working. If this situation occurs, open the loading funnel as described above. Carefully clean the interior. Close the loading funnel again as described above and ensure that when you switch on the machine again the loading funnel is correctly position and the safety screw is screwed right in.

CAUTION! NEVER undo the release screw (Figure 1/Item 12) without first switching off the machine at the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 11) and disconnecting the coupling on the machine connection cable (extension) from the machine plug.

6.5 Fitting the shredder debris bag (Fig. 14)

As an option you can fit the supplied shredder debris bag to the equipment. To do so, hang the shredder debris bag (Fig. 14 / Item 15) on the hooks provided for the purpose (Fig. 14 / Item 16).

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

8.1 Maintenance and storage

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.
-Store the device in a dry room.
-Store the device out of reach of children.
- When you have finished your work, pull the loading funnel forwards and clean the inside. Use a brush to remove deposits from metal parts on the inside. Apply a thin coating of oil to the cleaned blade plate and blades.
- When you close the loading funnel, make sure that the safety switch and the release screw are clean.

8.2 Replace, sharp and change blades

The blades on the blade plate are replaceable. If you have to replace any blade, you must only use genuine blades to ensure that they meet the relevant quality and safety criteria.

Please note: For safety reasons we recommend that you have all sharpening and blade replacement work carried out by a specialist workshop.

Always wear heavy duty working gloves

• Undo the fastening nut (Figure 12a/Item B)
• Undo the eight Philips screws (Figure 12b/Item C) and remove the cover plate
• Secure the rotary disk so that it cannot rotate (for example by jamming it with a screwdriver, see Figure 12c)
• Undo the four blade screws (Figure 12c/Item D) and remove the blades (Figure 12c/Item E)
  Each of the blades can be turned once as they are ground sharp on both ends. Then they must be replaced by new blades.

To assemble, proceed in reverse order.
