Why does the AL-KO Easy Crush MH 2810 shredder frequently stop at the slightest difficulty?

Question

Accepted Answer

The AL-KO Easy Crush MH 2810 shredder is equipped with a motor protection system that causes the device to automatically stop in case of overload. This behavior is normal and designed to protect the motor from damage.

Operation of the safety system

Motor protection switch: This device automatically cuts off the power when the motor is overloaded.
After stopping, you need to wait about 5 minutes for the motor to cool down before you can reset the switch and restart the device.
The MH 2810 is designed for intermittent operation: 40 seconds of work at full load, followed by a pause of about 60 seconds.

Tips to avoid frequent stops

Work in small sessions, allowing breaks for the motor to cool down.
Use materials with a maximum diameter of 40 mm, thinner if possible, to reduce the load.
If the circuit breaker trips often, let the motor cool down longer before restarting.
If problems persist, have the device checked by a professional.

This protection system is a normal and important feature to ensure the durability and safety of your AL-KO Easy Crush MH 2810 shredder.
