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 (Figure

GB

2a/Item 1).

Collecting the shredded material

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

6. Before starting up

6.1 Assembling the chassis

• Place the motor housing upside down on the floor and fasten the two parts of the frame to the motor housing by screwing on hand-tight with a self-locking hex nut and a special washer (Figure 3).
• Place the axle between the two parts of the frame (Figure 4).
• Use the hex wrench and wrench adapter to mount the wheels on the frame with a spacer, washer and screw (Figure 5). Put on the wheel hubs.
  ● Screw out the release screw (A) (Figure 6). The loading funnel can then be swung away.
  ● Tighten the self-locking hex nuts and the fixing screws holding the chassis (Figure 7).
• Place the loading funnel inlet (Figure 2a/Item 1) in the loading funnel (Figure 02a) and fasten in place with three screws (Figure 08 / Item A).

7. Starting up

7.1 SAFETY BRAKE

Electric motor is fitted with a safety brake and stops within 5 seconds from being switched off as a consequence the blades rotation stops as well.

7.2 Overload protection (motor circuit-breaker)

If the motor is overloaded for a lengthy period, the overload switch (Fig. 2b/Item 9) will trigger and switch off the machine. The ON/OFF switch is set to "0". After waiting for 1 minute you can press the overload switch and re-set the ON/OFF switch to ON. If the motor fails to start, clean the ejector chute (see 7.3.).

7.3 OPENING THE PLATE-HOPPER (Fig. N,O)

• always wear gloves
• ensure that the switch be on OFF position (Fig. 2b/Item 10)
• disconnect the plug from the mains
• unscrew the knob (Fig. 2b/Item 11) and lift the hopper (Fig. 2a/Item2);
• clean cut and discharge area and remove wood sticks or objects which may clog the blades. Lower the hopper (Fig. 2a/Item 2) and tighten up the knob (Fig. 2b/Item 10) tightly before activating

the On switch.

7.4 SAFETY INTERLOCK

The apparatus is fitted with a safety switch on the closure between the hopper and the lower plate. If the hopper is not perfectly placed and fixed against the lower plate, the SAFETY SWITCH will trigger, stopping the motor from working; should this occur, disassemble the hopper as explained in the previous paragraph. Carefully clean the 2 plates contacting faces. Refit carefully and tighten the knob right down. CAUTION: NEVER slacken off the knob (Fig. 2b/Item 11) without having turned off the switch (Fig. 2b/Item 10) and pulled the plug out of the socket.

7.5 BLADES

The blades (Fig. 9-10) of the blade-holding plate are reversible. For quality safety' sake, we recommend that, in case of substitution, you use original blades only.

REVERSING, SUBSTITUTION OF BLADES

(fig. 9-10)

We suggest that the above operations be carried out by qualified Service Stations. The (reversible) blades are fixed to the rotary plate with two screws each. Before any maintenance or cleaning work on the blades, always turn the switch OFF and disconnect the plug from the socket.

7.6 Practical tips

• Wear work gloves, goggles and ear muffs.
• Material placed in the loading funnel inlet i automatically drawn into the shredder.

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 ejector outlet of the funnel to become clogged with shredded material – risk of

pile-ups.

● Do not cover the vent slots.
8. 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.
- When you are finished with your work, take off the loading funnel and clean the inside. Use a brush to remove deposits from metal parts on the inside. When you mount the loading funnel, make sure that the safety switch and the release screw are clean.
- 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.
