Operation Manual

¾ Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number
of twigs.
 When filling, be careful that no pieces of metal, stones, bottles
or other objects unintended for processing, enter the filling
hopper.
¾ How to shred garden and kitchen waste with hight water con-
tent and a tendency to clog
 Immediately switch off the equipment and allow it to come to a
stop, if foreign objects enter the filling hopper or if the equip-
ment starts to make unusual noises or vibrates. Remove the
mains plug and carry out the following checks:
− to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate waste with
wood containing material.
¾ Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded
material blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the
filler opening.
− inspect for damage,
− replace or repair damaged parts,
− check the equipment and tighten loose parts.
¾ Clean out the filler opening and ejection channel thoroughly if
the machine becomes blocked. Before doing this, switch the
motor off and disconnect the machine from the mains power
supply.
You must not repair the equipment yourself if you are
unauthorized to do so.
 What can I shred?
¾ Please do not exceed the maximum branch diameter speci-
fied (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (∅ see p. 18).
Depending on the wood’s nature and freshness the maximum
branch diameter the machine can process may be smaller.
Yes:
• organic household and garden waste
e. g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers and vegetable
kitchen waste.
¾ The cutter automatically draws the shredding material into the
machine through the slow rotation of the cutting rollers.
No:
¾ Automatic switch-over in the direction of rotation:
If the unit suddenly clogs, the blades may start to turn in the
opposite direction and push the shredded material back out.
• glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots with
soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.
− Switch off unit
 Special tips on shredding:
− Wait until the blades come to a standstill
− Switch unit back on and use material which is easier to
process.
¾ Always fill the material to be
shredded into the filling hopper
from the right.
15
¾ Branches, twigs and wood
should be broken down immedi-
ately after they have been cut.
¾ If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor switch en-
sures that the machine turns itself off automatically.
− Turn the shredder on again after about 5 minutes.
− If you cannot turn on the machine after this waiting time re-
fer to „Operational faults“.
− Material of this kinds gets very hard when it is dry, and the
maximum allowed branch diameter to be processed has to
be reduced.

It is possible to adjust the counter blade B
at the cutting roller A free of clearance.
For an effective operation, an as small as
possible clearance should be maintained.
Soft material or wet branches may tear
instead of being cut. A counter blade that
is worn after repeated use may also lead
to this problem.
Setting the clearance.
Switch on the device.
There is an adjustment device on the right
hand side of the plastic housing. To adjust the distance turn the adjusting knob (D) clockwisely so that the screw (C) moves toward the
cutting roller. Turn until fine aluminium chips are falling from the ejection slot.
