CAUTION:

Be careful when tilting the device onto its wheels, as it is unevenly weighted when tilted and transported on its wheels.

Mounting the collection box

• Press the locking button (A) down and insert the collection box into the base frame. (Fig. 2)
• Press the locking button upwards.

22. OPERATION

Preparation

1. Before starting the machine, look into the feed hopper and make sure it is empty.
2. Always ensure that you are standing securely and have a firm footing. Do not overreach. Never stand higher than the machine base when filling it with material.
3. Always keep away from the ejection area during operation.
4. When filling, take particular care to ensure that no metal, stones, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects are present.
5. If the cutting mechanism encounters a foreign object or if unusual noises or vibrations occur, switch off the machine immediately, allow it to come to a complete stop, disconnect the power plug (for electric models) and proceed as follows:

a) Check the machine for damage.

b) Check and tighten any loose parts.

c) Have damaged parts repaired or replaced only with spare parts of the same specifications.

1. Do not allow shredded material to accumulate in the discharge area, as this may prevent proper emptying and cause material to be thrown back through the feed opening.

2. All protective devices and deflectors must be installed and in perfect condition.

3. Never transport the machine while the engine is running.

4. Switch off the machine and disconnect the power plug (for electric models) as soon as you leave the work area.

5. Do not tilt the machine while the engine is running.

6. Keep the engine free of dirt and debris.

Starting and stopping

1. Set the forward/reverse switch (A) to the forward position ("+").

2. Press the on/off switch (B) to ON (I) to start the motor.

3. Press the ON/OFF switch (B) to OFF (O) to stop the engine.

(Fig. 3)

Caution

Damage to the device due to improper operation.

Incorrect handling can result in damage to the device.

→ Only feed material after the device has been switched on. Do not feed material after the device has been switched off.

Note

The device is equipped with a safety switch that prevents it from restarting accidentally after a power failure.

Overload protection

This device has an overload protection system.

To protect the motor, the power supply is automatically shut off when the motor is overloaded.

Wait at least 1 minute before restarting the device:

1. Press the reset button.
2. Press the on/off switch.

If the motor does not start, proceed as follows:

1. Press the safety switch (A).
2. Set the forward/reverse switch (B) to the reverse position.
3. Hold the on/off switch (ON [I]) to remove any objects blocking the blades.

(Fig. 4)

Caution:

Always wear protective gloves when performing these steps!

Notes on use

1. Place the material to be shredded into the opening on the right-hand side. It will be pulled in automatically by the counterclockwise rotating blade.
2. Do not fill the opening completely to prevent blockages.
3. Alternate between adding branches and slightly damp, rotted material – this also prevents blockages.
4. Compost soft kitchen waste – do not put it through the shredder!
5. Branches with leaves must be completely shredded and removed before adding new material. Ensure that the shredded material falls freely into the collection box.
6. The ventilation opening must not be blocked by shredded material.
7. Continuous shredding of thick wood or branches can block the device.
8. Soft material such as leaves or twigs can easily clog the feed – push them in with the pusher.
9. Check the material for nails and stones before shredding, as these can seriously damage the shredder.

Adjusting the counter plate

To achieve optimum shredding results and prevent damage to the blade, the counter plate must be adjusted regularly. Adjustment is also necessary if so-called interlocking occurs.

• Turn the counter plate adjustment knob (A) clockwise until you hear a slight rubbing noise and fine aluminum shavings fall out of the discharge channel for a short time. (Fig. 5A and 5B)
  • Afterwards, the chopped material should be cut again completely.

Caution

• Remove dirt and material residues after each use.
• Do not clean the device with running water or high pressure.
• Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
• Use a soft brush or cloth for cleaning.

Replacing the counter plate

1. Open the rear cover by loosening the 4 screws (A). (Fig. 6A)
2. Remove the counter plate (B) and insert a new one. (Fig. 6B)
3. Replace the back cover and tighten the screws with a wrench.

23. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before starting any cleaning or maintenance work, make sure that the garden shredder is switched off and disconnected from the power supply. Always wear sturdy leather gloves when cleaning the cutting

blades.

To ensure optimum performance of the garden shredder, it must be kept clean.

• Always clean the garden shredder immediately after use.
- Do not allow any material to dry or harden on the surfaces of the garden shredder. This will directly impair the shredding performance.
- Ensure that the feed chute and discharge channel are always clean and free of residue.
• Regularly check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
• Always have damaged or worn parts repaired or replaced by qualified personnel.
- Do not use cleaning agents or solvents, as these can cause irreparable damage to the device.
Chemicals can attack plastic parts.

Caution:

Have your garden shredder checked and serviced by qualified personnel. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself if you are not trained to do so.

Warning

Never use a high-pressure cleaner or running water to clean the shredder! Remove dirt and plant debris from the spiral blade with a brush.

Wipe the outside of the shredder with a cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.

24. TROUBLESHOOTING

Cause	Action
Safety switch	Check that the switch is working properly.
Power failure	Check the power cable, plug, and house fuse.
Material blocked in the feed hopper	Switch off the shredder. Carefully pull the material out of the feed chute. Switch the shredder back on and feed thick branches in such a way that the blade does not immediately start cutting at the pre-notched points.
The material to be shredded is too soft	Feed in wood or shred dried branches.
The device does not start	Press the reset button and then press the on/off switch. If it still does not start, follow the steps in the "Overload protection" section on page 6.

25. MAINTENANCE

Only use original accessories and original spare parts.

Only a regularly maintained and treated device can provide satisfactory assistance.

Inadequate maintenance and care can lead to unforeseen accidents and injuries.

26. ACCESSORIES AND SPARE PARTS
