3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Designated use

The garden shredder is only intended for use in shredding organic materials that are incurred in the home and garden. No other use is permitted. Only work with the trailer when it is fully assembled.

This trailer is intended solely for use in non-commercial applications. Any other use (as well as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are regarded as contrary to the intended use and will result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by the user or third parties.

P40: continuous operation with interruptions

The appliance can be operated continuously but with regular interruptions at high loads. If it is operated for too long at high loads, the overload protection switches the appliance off. The appliance has been tested and approved for operation at full load for 40 s followed by an idling time of 60 s.

3.2 Possible foreseeable misuse

■ The machine is not intended for commercial use or in agriculture and forestry.
■ Do not use the machine in rainy weather.
■ The safety devices on the machine must not be dismantled or bypassed.

3.3 Residual risks

Even during correct use of the appliance, there is always a certain residual risk that cannot be excluded. Depending on the use, the following potential risks can be derived from the type and construction of the appliance:

Injuries from flying cuttings
■ Injuries due to inhaling cutting particles
■ Injuries due to reaching into the shredder mechanism
■ Injuries due to the machine tipping over

3.4 Safety and protective devices

⚠ WARNING! Risk of injury. Defective and disabled safety and protective devices can result in serious injury.

■ Have any defective safety and protective devices repaired.
■ Never disable safety and protective devices.

3.4.1 Safety circuit breaker

When the securing bolt (02/1) is pulled out, the safety circuit breaker is tripped. As a result, the motor can no longer be started by actuating the on/off switch.

The shredder can only be started with by actuating the on/off switch again when the feed tube has been fastened on the housing again using the original securing bolt.

3.4.2 Switch with overload protection

According to the VDE regulations, the appliance is equipped with a switch with an integrated safety switch that shuts off the current in the event of overloading. Overloading can occur if the blade is blocked for a long time.

For safety purposes, the safety switch is designed so that you have to wait for around 1 - 3 minutes before the motor can be switched on again. However, you must eliminate the cause of the overloading beforehand.

First, the switch must always be switched off in order to switch on the motor again. After the waiting time, the appliance can be started again by actuating the switch.

3.6 Electrical requirements

3.6.1 Mains connection

⚠️ DANGER! Risk of electric shock if the log splitter is operated without residual current circuit breaker. Operation of the appliance without residual current circuit breaker in the mains connection can result in serious injuries or even death due to electric shock.

■ Before connecting the appliance, check whether the mains connection has a residual current circuit breaker for a maximum leakage current of 0.03 A.
If you cannot be sure that a residual current circuit breaker is installed: Use an additional portable residual current device with switched PE conductor.
■ Mains voltage, see "Technical data". Do not use any other mains voltage!

Only for Great Britain (240 V)!

This machine must be earth!
■ Never use a faulty power cable!
■ Check the power cable regularly for signs of wear and tear!

Wiring instructions:

When wiring the English 3 pin plug, please follow the instruction according to the colour coding as shown below:

3.6.2 Mains cable

WARNING! Risk of injury from electric shock. A defective mains cable can result in serious injuries due to electric shock.

■ Make sure that the mains cable is not damaged or severed.

Use only rubber-sheathed cables of quality H05RN-F according to DIN 57282, Part 817 / VDE 0282, Part 817 with a rubber-coated plug connector and a conductor cross section of at least 1.5mm^2 (230 V: 3× 1.5mm^2 , 400 V: 5× 1.5mm^2 ). The cable must not be of a lighter type.
For the United Kingdom only: rubber-sheathed cables of type BS 6500 (1984), Table 16 PVC 3 core flex, 300/500 V HOS VV-F with a rubber-coated plug connector and a 13 A fuse.
The maximum permissible cable length is 50 m. A longer cable impairs the motor power and hence the performance and function of the log splitter.
■ Mains cable, mains plug and coupling socket must be undamaged. A defective mains cable (e.g. with cracks/fractures, cuts, crushed or kinked points in the insulation) must not be used.
- Check the condition of your mains cable each time prior to use.
■ Protect the mains cable from heat and sharp edges. Do not expose plug connectors to moisture.
- Do not pull on the mains cable to remove the mains plug from the socket.
If the mains cable is damaged, immediately disconnect it from the mains.
■ Repairs to the mains cable, mains plug and coupling socket may only be carried out by qualified electricians.

  2. Check that the extension lead is connected securely.
  3. Then connect the extension lead to the mains voltage.

6.2 Switching on the motor

IMPORTANT! Damage to the machine due to improper operation! Incorrect handling can result in machine damage!

■ Only feed in material to be shredded once the appliance has already been switched on.
- Do not feed in any further material to be shredded after the appliance has been switched off.

  1. Press the on switch.

6.3 Feeding in material to be shredded

Material to be shredded includes e.g.:

Twigs, branches, shrubs, leaves
■ Flower stems, salad and vegetable waste
