branches with your hand when
shredding.
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 garden shredder may only be
operated when the feed chute ATO 400 is
properly closed. If the On- / Off switch is
released during operation, the motor or the
engine is switched off automatically and
the shredding tool comes to a standstill
within a few seconds. In addition, the two
blade discs are mechanically locked
automatically if the feed chute ATO 400 is
removed.
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.
10.1 Electrical connection of garden
shredders
Power supply and operating voltage must
correspond (see rating plate).
The power cable must be adequately
protected by fuse. (Ö )
Only electric cables which are no lighter
than rubber sheathed cables
H07 RN-FDIN/VDE0282 may be used.
The plug connections must be splash
proof. Unsuitable extension cables lead to
a loss of power and may result in damage
to the motor.
GHE 420:
The minimum cross-section of the power
cable must be 3x1.5 mm² for a length of
up to 25 m or 3x2.5mm² for a length of
up to 50 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.
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
0.334 ohms (at 50Hz).
The user must ensure that the machine is
only operated with a power supply which
Risk of injury:
In order to prevent injuries caused
by kickback, the garden shredder
must be fed with hard material in
the correct manner. If the garden
shredder is fed from the rear
(i.e. the operator is standing in the
working area (Ö 8.4), the branch
material should be inserted at a
slight angle and guided along the
left-hand chute wall to the blade
unit in accordance with the
symbol (4). When feeding, note the
maximum branch diameter. (Ö 8.3)
The large feed opening (2) is
designed to better accommodate
branches with numerous side
shoots and twigs.
Cut up thick branches and
branches with numerous side
shoots (note the maximum branch
thickness) beforehand using
loppers. Throw thin pruning
material (up to approx. 10 mm in
diameter) into the feed opening (1)
for soft material.
