– Machine overloaded due to excessive
quantities of shredding material or blunt
blades
8.7 If the cutting unit of the garden
shredder is blocked
If the cutting unit of the garden shredder
becomes blocked during shredding,
immediately switch off the motor and
disconnect the power cable. Then remove
the feed chute and eliminate the cause of
the fault.
8.8 Feeding the garden shredder
Soft material:
● Feed organic plant trimmings
such as fruit and vegetable waste,
flower cuttings, leaves, thin branches
etc. into the large rectangular
opening (1).
Hard material:
● Feed tree and hedge cuttings and
branch material slowly into the VIKING
cloverleaf opening (2), guiding it along
the right chute wall to the blade unit.
The hard material is drawn in by the
machine automatically.
9.1 Motor restart inhibitor
The machine can only be started via the
switch and not by plugging the electric
cable into the mains socket.
9.2 Safety interlock
The motor/shredding tool may only be
operated when the feed chute has been
properly closed. If the right closure screw
(machine viewed from the front) becomes
loose during operation, the motor is
switched off automatically and after a few
seconds the shredding tool comes to a
standstill.
9.3 Motor run-down brake
The motor run-down brake shortens the
run-down time from when the machine is
switched off until the blades stop to a few
seconds.
9.4 Protective covers
The garden shredder is equipped with
protective covers in the feeding and
ejection areas. These include the
complete feed chute with the upper chute
and splash guard, the ejection chute
extension and the discharge flap.
The protective covers ensure that a safe
distance is maintained from the shredding
blades.
10.1 Electrical connection of garden
shredders
The power cable must be adequately
protected by fuse. (Ö 18.)
Only electric cables which are no lighter
than rubber sheathed cables
H07 RN-F DIN/VDE 0282 may be used.
The minimum cross-section of the power
cable must be 3x1.5mm² for a length of
up to 25 m or 3x2.5mm² for a length of
over 25 m.
The connectors of the electric cable must
be made of rubber or have a rubber
coating and conform to the DIN/VDE 0620
standard.
The plug connections must be splash
proof.
Unsuitable extension cables lead to a loss
of power and may result in damage to the
motor.
This machine is intended for operation with
a power supply having a system
impedance of Z
max
at the transfer point
(house connection) of maximum
0.49 ohms (GE 105) / 0.472 ohms (GE
103) at 50Hz.
The user must ensure that the machine is
only operated with a power supply which
meets this requirement.
Cut up thick branches and
branches with numerous side
shoots beforehand using loppers.
