Safety and protective equipment
DANGER!
Danger of injury if the safety devices are tampered with!
Tampering with safety devices can result in serious injuries!
Do not deactivate safety and protective devices.
Hopper concept
The hopper opening was designed according to the standard to prevent reaching inside.
Motor protection switch
The motor protection switch disconnects in the case of overload. Hereby, switch (6/4) pops out of the control panel. The switch can be pushed back in again after a cooling-down phase of approx. 5 minutes, and the machine can be switched on. If the switch does not remain by itself in the pressed position, extend the cooling-down phase. If the problem continues to exist, take the machine to a specialist workshop.
Restarting protection
For your safety, the machine is fitted with a 0-voltage switch, which automatically switches the machine off in the case of a power interruption. Once the voltage supply is re-established, the machine does not automatically restart. Press the On-switch (6/6) for restarting.

DANGER!
Danger of injury from damaged components!
Damaged components can lead to serious and even fatal injuries!
Before taking into operation, carry out a visual inspection and check the components for function.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to negligence!
Negligence in handling the machine can result in serious injuries!
Only use the shredder on firm, level ground and in a stable setup. Do not tilt or incline the machine during operation.
OPERATION
Operating time
The machine design supports the S6 (40 %) operating time. This means that the shredder may be used 60 % in idle and 40 % under load. For a time unit of 10 minutes this means 6 minutes idling and 4 minutes under load. Continuous operation is possible under these conditions.
Connecting the mains plug
- Push down the cable safety (4/1) and insert the extension cable (5/1) into the socket of the shredder.
- Check secure fit of the extension cable.
- Next, connect the extension cable to your mains connection.
Switching on the motor
Normal operation mode:
- Turn the direction of rotation switch (6/3) of the cutting drum to the left (6/1).
- Next, press the On-switch (6/6).
- The materials to be shredded are pulled in.
Reverse:
See "Releasing a cutting drum blockage".
Switching off the motor
- Press the Off-switch (6/5) to switch the motor off.
CAUTION!
Damage to the machine due to improper operation!
Incorrect handling can result in machine damage!
Only feed materials to be shredded after the machine was switched on. Do not feed materials to be shredded after the machine was switched off.
Emptying the grass catcher
- Switch the shredder off.
- Pull the lock (9/1) down and the grass catcher (9/2) out of the base.
- Place the empty grass catcher (10/2) onto the guide rail (10/1) and push it completely into the base.
- Push lock (10/3) up until it engages.
Releasing a cutting drum blockage
- Switch the shredder off.
- Turn the direction of rotation switch (6/3) to the right (6/2) and press the On-switch (6/6) (reverse).
- Now, the materials to be shredded should be released upwards.
- Switch the machine off and wait for the cutting drum to stop moving.
- Afterwards, turn the direction of rotation switch (6/3) to the left (6/1) again.
- Next, switch the shredder on again.
If the material to be shredded is not released upwards:
-
Loosen the adjusting screw of the counterplate (8/1), until the cutting drum runs freely again and the blockage is removed.
-
Readjust the counterplate, see description "Readjusting the counter plate".
If the blockage cannot be removed, please contact our responsible customer service.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to lack of focus while working!
Ejected parts can cause most severe injuries!
When running the machine in reverse, wear personal protective equipment and pay attention to ejected material.
Transporting the shredder
- Switch the motor off and wait for the cutting drum to stop moving.
- Next, disconnect the machine from the mains connection.
- Secure shredder using the handle (1/1) and tilt the machine slightly.
- Pull the machine behind you when moving to the next location. Pay attention to the ground to prevent the machine from tipping over during the transport.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The shredder complies with all relevant safety standards. Repairs are only allowed to be performed by qualified specialists, and with the exclusive use of genuine spare parts.
■ After each use, check the shredder for wear and renew any damaged components.
- Keep venting slots (1/12) free from residues or accumulations.
Do not get the machine wet or expose it to moisture.
■ Only use spare parts specified by the manufacturer.
Worn or damaged cutting drums or counter-plates may only be replaced by an authorised specialist.
DANGER!
Fatal electric shock hazard!
Touching live parts represents an immediate danger of fatal injury from electric shock!
Disconnect the machine from the mains connection prior to all maintenance and care measures and wear protective gloves.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to revolving tools! Revolving tools can cause severe hand and finger injuries!
When working on the cutting tool, disconnect the machine from the mains connection and wait for the tool to stop moving.
Readjusting the counterplate
To obtain an optimum shredding result and prevent damage to the blade unit (7/3), the counterplate (7/2) must be readjusted at regular intervals.
The counterplate must also be adjusted, if so-called interlinkage occurs.
With the motor running:
-
Turn adjusting screw (7/1) 1/6 revolution to the right (clockwise), until a slight friction noise can be heard and fine aluminium chips fall from the ejector chute for a short period of time.
-
Now, the materials to be shredded should be fully cut again.
Care
■ Remove dirt and material residues after every use.
Do not clean the machine with running water or high-pressure.
- Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
■ Use a soft brush or cloth for cleaning.
STORAGE
Clean the shredder after its use. Store it in a dry, lockable place out of the reach of children.
Perform the following tasks when storing during the winder period:
-
Switch off the machine and disconnect from the mains connection.
-
Empty the grass catcher.
-
Store the shredder vertically.
WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND WORKING TECHNIQUE
The shredder is only partly suitable for shredding soft, very juicy waste (e.g. pome fruits, wet plant waste). These materials should be directly composted, as they quickly compact
The shredder is best suitable for shredding long-stem, hard or already dried stems of flowers, shrubs, bushes and pruning.
■ Shred branches shortly after cutting to achieve optimum results.
■ Soft materials to be shredded should always be processed alternating with branches to prevent clogging of the cutting drum.
■ Principally, only feed materials to be shredded after the machine was switched on.
■ Feed materials to be shredded are automatically pulled in.
■ Only feed as much materials to be shredded to ensure that hopper and feed chute do not clog.
■ Empty the grass catcher on a regular base, as overfilling can cause materials backing up in the cutting drum.
■ Refer to "Transporting the shredder" for moving the shredder to a new location.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to ejected parts!
Ejected plant parts can cause severe injuries!
Always wear personal protective equipment when working with the shredder.
DANGER!
Risk of injury and damage to the machine if used other than according to the designated use!
Ejected parts can cause most severe injuries!
Do not feed stones, soil, glass, textiles, plastic or metal parts into the machine.
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury due to inadvertent movement!
Inadvertent movements can lead to extremely serious injuries!
Do not reach into the hopper or ejector chute, while the machine is connected to mains.
CAUTION!
Damage to the machine due to improper operation!
Incorrect handling can result in machine damage!
Only feed materials to be shredded after the machine was switched on. Do not feed materials to be shredded after the machine was switched off.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to revolving tools!
Revolving tools can cause severe hand and finger injuries!
When working on the cutting tool, disconnect the machine from the mains connection and wait for the tool to stop moving.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to long materials to be shredded!
Longer materials to be shredded can strike out and cause injuries!
Maintain sufficient safety distance.
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to negligence!
Loss of balance due to negligence can cause most severe injuries!
Never feed the shredder from an elevated position.
DISPOSAL
Do not dispose of worn-out machines or spent batteries (including rechargeable batteries) in domestic waste!
The packaging, machine and accessories are made from recyclable materials and must be disposed of accordingly.
