Blade clearance adjustment

To ensure optimum operation of the shredder, set the clearance between the stationary blade and the cutting roller by means of the blade pressure adjustment knob. Setting the clearance:

• Turn on the machine.
• Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise to increase the distance of the stationary blade to the cutting roller.
• Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to bring the stationary blade closer to the cutting roller.
• It is recommended to control the blade pressure while the machine is in operation. The required pressure may be different for the different cross-sections of the shredded branches.

MACHINE OPERATION

To start the shredder press the on/off switch to the position marked "I", to turn off press "0". Wait until the blades start to rotate at full speed before loading the material for shredding. Do not place the material in the loading tunnel when the machine is switched off or does not operate at full speed.

NOTE: The machine has an overload switch. The circuit breaker will be activated when the accumulated shredded material blocks the cutting discs, the load is too hard or thick and exceeds the motor capabilities, or there is too much resistance of the cutting blade. After removing the cause of the machine overload, press the reset button.

NOTE: Switch off the machine in the event that the blade hits a hard object or unusual noises or vibrations. Pull the plug out of the mains socket and do the following:

- inspect the blade and other components for damage;

- check for loose parts and tighten if necessary;

If necessary, contact an authorised service centre.

Shredding instructions

The hardness of branches and logs for shredding depends on the genre, age and degree of humidity of the wood. The most efficient is shredding of fresh branches, soon after cutting. Soft garden waste should be shredded in smaller batches, especially when it is moist. To prevent such material from blocking, occasionally crush thicker branches or logs.

The branches protruding from the machine may hit the operator when being pulled in; therefore, keep a safe distance!

Insert only an amount of material that does not block the shredder.

Damp or residual garden waste should be shredded alternately with thicker branches. This prevents the blade from overloading

Do not place compost-type soft waste in the shredder. This type of material should be composted as

such.

Care must be taken to ensure that the shredded material can escape freely through the outlet opening. There is a danger of blockage when too much material is loaded for shredding.

Empty the shredding hopper regularly. The hopper may not fill evenly.

Cleaning and maintenance

1. After each use, clean the entire device of plant residues and remove the compacted mass collected in the lower cover.
2. Keep ventilation slots and motor housing free of dust and dirt as much as possible. Wipe the device with a clean cloth, brush, or blow it clean with compressed air.
3. It is recommended to clean the device immediately after every use.
4. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents to clean the device; they may damage the plastic parts. Take care not to allow water to enter the device.
5. Check the condition of the cutting string regularly, as well as the tightness of the screws. For new devices, check the bolt tightening after about the first 2 hours of operation. Tighten any loosened bolts if necessary.
6. Ensure that all components of the power tool are in good working order. Do not overload the device or use it for any work for which it is not intended.
