• Petrol must be filled before starting the combustion engine. While the combustion engine is running or if the device is hot, the fuel tank must not be opened and petrol must not be filled.
• Open the tank cover carefully and slowly. Wait for the pressure to equalise and only then remove the tank cover completely.
• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so that no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine and housing or lawn.

Do not overfill the fuel tank!

• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the fuel tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle. Observe additional information in the combustion engine user manual.
- If petrol has overflowed, do not start the combustion engine until the petrol-contaminated area has been cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the fuel vapours have evaporated (wipe dry).

• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• If petrol has got on clothing, it must be changed.
- The tank cover must be properly screwed on and tightened after each refuelling operation. The device must not be put into operation without the original tank cover screwed on.
- For safety reasons, check the fuel line, fuel tank, tank cover and connections regularly for damage, ageing (brittleness), tight fit and leaks, and replace if necessary.
- Only empty the fuel tank outdoors.
- Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of or store operating materials such as fuel. People, especially children, could be tempted to drink from it.
- Only use the device outdoors and never in closed or poorly ventilated rooms.
- Never store the device with petrol in the fuel tank inside a building. Any fuel vapours produced can come into contact with naked flames or sparks and ignite.
- Do not place the device and fuel tank near heaters, radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources of heat.

Risk of explosion!

If a defect is detected on the fuel tank, the tank cover or on fuel-carrying parts (fuel lines) during operation, the combustion engine must be switched off immediately. Then consult a specialist dealer.

2. If necessary, use a standard foot pump to top up with air by first removing the tyre valve cap (39). The correct tyre pressure on the tyres (6) is 0.7 bar.

Note: If you notice that the tyres or wheels (6) are damaged, please contact customer service or a specialist workshop.

10. Operation

ATTENTION!

Always make sure the device is fully assembled before commissioning!

ATTENTION!

Always check whether the feed funnel is empty and that the blades are not blocked prior to starting the engine!

⚠️ ATTENTION! Always check that the emergency stop bar switches off properly before chopping.

⚠️ ATTENTION! It is forbidden to stay in the driving area of the shredder when starting and operating it.

ATTENTION!

Check the safety equipment regularly before each start-up. Faulty safety equipment can cause serious injuries!

Working instructions

Good work results require well sharpened blades.

Note:

Blunt blades reduce the cutting performance and impair the work process! Sure signs of blunt blades are leaving an indentation, reduced performance and a poor cutting pattern.

Feeding the chopped material

Always switch the engine off first!

• Only wear closed, suitable clothing and protective gloves with short, closed, sealing cuffs.
  • Always stand to the side of the filling funnel when feeding chopped material (Fig. 31).
• Stake out an area at least 3 m wide and 12 m long on the side of the ejector. Check the working area prior to starting. Pay particular attention to children, other people and animals (Fig. 31).
  • Make sure that you have secure footing and always maintain your balance. Do not lean forwards.
• Stand at the same level as the device when inserting the chopped material.

• Stay a safe distance from the ejector area in order to avoid being hit by chopped material or parts being ejected.

• Pay attention to stones and soil when collecting the material to be cut.

• Earth causes the blades to wear very quickly and should therefore be removed from the material to be shredded
• Foreign objects (such as nails, wire, ropes or climbing aids) must be removed from the material to be shredded.
• Hard objects such as stones, glass, metal and similar objects must not be thrown into the device.
• Do not throw roots with soil attached to them into the device.
• Wood such as tree cuttings, etc. requires well sharpened blades and should be crushed separately to maintain as long a service life as possible for the blades.
• The cutting unit draws the chopped material in virtually automatically.
• Insert branches with the thickest end first and place on the part of the cutter disc that rotates downwards if possible (kick-back).
• Remove side shoots from branches with many smaller branches.
• Freshly-cut wood requires less force meaning that sections with larger cross sections can be shredded.
• Processing dry material at the end is beneficial. The moisture in the device is absorbed and the housing cleaned.
• If the cutting unit gets blocked, switch the engine off immediately to avoid an engine overload. Rectify the fault before switching the engine back on.
• Do not let the pile of shredded material in the vicinity of the ejection opening get too high. This can result in shredded material blocking the ejector chute. This can cause the material to kick-back through the filling opening.
• Note: Remove residual waste from the device after finishing work. Attention: Remove spark plug cap and ignition key!
• The shredding unit (5) must be free of shredded material residues in order to restart it after work breaks.
