OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE - The number which precedes each paragraph links the references in the text to the respective illustrations (listed on page 2 and following pages). NOTE - The machine can be supplied with some pre- assembled parts. WARNING - Unpacking and completing the assembly should be done on a flat and stable surface, with enough space for handling the machine and its pack- aging, always using suitable equipment. Disposal of the packaging should be done in accor- dance with the local regulations in force. Machine assembly Grasp the working head (1) as indicated and position it over the frame (2), taking care to insert the protruding part (3) in its slot (4). Fully tighten the four knobs (5). Assemble the wheels (6), using the pins (7), washers (8) and split pins (9) in the indicated sequence. Apply the wheel covers (10) inserting the tabs (11) in their slots (12). IMPORTANT - When assembly is completed, the distance between the pressure plate and the shredding roller must be adjusted as indicated at point 4.1. Motor control The motor is controlled by two buttons: – Green button (1-I ) = Run – Red button (2-O) = Stop The tool will switch off in the event of a power shortage. Press the green button (1) again to restart the motor. Rotation direction switch The motor rotation direction is controlled by two buttons: – Black button (3-▼) = Operating rotation direction, fa- vouring material feeding. – Black button (4-▲) = Rotation in opposite direction to free jammed material; a led (5) lights up to indicate that rotation is in the opposite direction. When the motor is started, the operating rotation direction is automatically set which favours material feeding.

• Use the machine on firm level ground, keeping feet at the same level as the wheels.

• When starting the machine there can be momentary drops in voltage. Make sure that its impedance is lower than 0.42 ohm to prevent disturbances to other equip- ment connected to the mains supply.

• If the motor stops because it is overheated while work- ing, you must wait about 5 minutes before restarting it. Machine set-up Fit the collection box (1) in the space beneath the machine and pull the safety handle (2) up to lock it and enable the motor to be started. If the handle is not positioned properly, the motor will not start. Machine connections Properly insert the extension lead socket (11) to the ma- chine plug (12) as indicated, then insert the extension lead plug in the mains socket (13). Motor start-up and operating modes Press the green button (1-I ) to start the motor.Always feed the material to be shredded from the right side through the hopper's feed opening (2). If necessary, use the provided plunger (3) to help push material through. Advice for shredding

• Avoid shredding wet material.

• Strip branches with too many ramifications and remove the side shoots.

• Do not shred branches with a diameter exceeding 4 cm; it may be necessary to reduce the maximum diam- eter of branches to be shredded according to wood type and freshness.

• Always feed small quantities of material in order to not clog the feeding hopper.

• Avoid blocking the discharge chute to prevent shredded material from backing up through the feeding hopper.

• Shred garden waste only in small quantities, particularly when humid or wet;alternate it with branches to prevent clogging.

• Do not shred kitchen waste or other material with a non- solid consistency. Important recommendations

• Do not shred excessively long branches to prevent in- juries from branches that may lash out uncontrollably.

Emptying the box Make sure the shredded material in the collection box doesn't reach too high a level; if this happens, the shred- ded material could clog the discharge chute, causing ma- terial to back up through the feed opening. To remove or empty the box, turn off the motor, lower the safety handle (1) and take out the box (2). Clogging of material If material to be shredded becomes clogged, you can free the shredding roller by reversing the rotation direction of the motor . Therefore: – reverse the rotation direction by pushing the black but- ton (4-▲), taking care that material does not back up from the feeding chute; – a led (5) lights up to indicate that rotation is in the op- posite direction. – when you have unblocked the material, press the black button (3-▼) to restore the operating rotation direction. Stop the motor and disconnect from the mains supply if you must unclog the chute and the material discharge chute. End of work When you have finished work, stop the motor by press- ing the red button (2-O). Disconnect the extension lead (11) BEFORE the general mains socket (13) THEN from the machine plug (12). Re- move and empty the container. IMPORTANT - Routine and accurate maintenance is essential in maintaining original machine safety and performance levels. Store the machine in a dry place. Disconnect the machine from the mains supply be- fore starting any cleaning, inspection or maintenance activities.

1) Wear sturdy work gloves before cleaning, maintaining

or adjusting the machine.

2) After each use, remove the collection box and clean the

remaining debris in the discharge chute.

3) After each use, spray a light layer of biodegradable oil

on the shredding roller to protect the metal from corro- sion.

4) Always make sure the air vents are free of debris.

5) Do not spray water onto and avoid wetting the motor

and electrical components.Do not use harsh liquids to clean plastic parts.

6) Do not attempt to carry out demanding repairs without

the necessary means and technical knowledge. All work on the machine that is poorly executed automat- ically voids theWarranty, releasing the Manufacturer of all liability.

Distance adjustment The distance between the pressure plate (2) and shred- ding roller (3) must be adjusted before using the machine for the first time. Afterwards, it is necessary only when shredding proves to be imperfect. In order to set the plate (2) in an optimal position with re- gard to the roller (3), you must: – start up the motor to activate the shredding roller (3); – turn the handwheel (1) slowly clockwise to bring the plate (2) closer to the roller until you hear a scraping sound between the two parts, demonstrated by small metal shavings falling from the discharge chute. Avoid excessive contact in order to prevent unnecessary wear to the plate. Environmental protection should be a priority of consider- able importance when using the machine, for the benefit of both society and the environment in which we live. – Avoid causing any disturbance to the surrounding area. – Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the dis- posal of waste materials after working. – Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the dis- posal of packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements with a strong environmental impact; this waste must not be disposed of as normal waste, but must be sepa- rated and taken to specified waste disposal centres where the material will be recycled. – When decommissioning, do not abandon the machine in the environment, but hand it over to a disposal cen- tre, in accordance with the local regulations in force. For any doubts or problems, please do not hesitate to contact your nearest Customer Service Centre or Your Dealer.
