Using The Machine - IKRA GSL 2500 Instrucciones De Uso

• If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an
authorized service dealer in order to avoid a haz-
ard.
• If the fuse blows or if the overload protection is trig-
gered, this is a sign that the machine is overloaded
and/or that two many appliances are connected to
the same lead. Check the cause and remedy. Do
not install a more powerful fuse.
• Keep hands, other parts of your body and clothing
away from the feeding hopper and the discharge
chute.
• Keep your face and rest of your body away from the
feeding hopper.
• Never move the machine by pulling the cable. The
machine must not be moved with the motor run-
ning.
• Do no leave the machine unsupervised, but first
switch off the motor and disconnect the plug.

Using the machine

General
This machine is only intended for private use, not to be
used professionally.
The compost grinder is designed to grind organic
material such as dry plant residue, twigs, sticks and
branches.
Transport
Take great care during transport and when the ma-
chine is to be lifted. Lift the machine by taking a firm
grip of the legs by the mounting to the motor housing,
under the compost grinder, and lift carefully. Never lift
the machine using the cover.
Electrical connection
Connect the machine to a single phase electric socket
with a protective conductor(earth). The electric circuit
should be fused with a 10A inert fuse.
Always use a protectively earthed rubber connection
cable. The cable should be of good quality, intended
for outdoor use.
The cable's cross-section should be at least 3 ×
1.5mm
2
The connector (female contact) must be moisture proof.
You are recommended to use an earth leakage cir-
cuit breaker which interrupts the current in the event
of something happening to the machine or connection
cable.
If a portable earth leakage circuit breaker is used, it
should always be placed between the electric socket
and the connection cable.
Even if an earth leakage circuit breaker is used, safety
cannot be guaranteed. Always follow the safety in-
structions provided. Ideally wear shoes with thick rub-
ber soles.
Test the operation of the earth leakage circuit breaker
before each use.
In the event of unfavorable electrical mains conditions,
brief voltage drops can occur when you start the appa-
ratus which can affect other appliances. With a mains
impedance of Zmax<0.30+j0.19ohm, such disturbanc-
es are unlikely.
Starting the motor
Ensure that the grinder is empty before starting
the motor.
Start the motor by first turning the control anti-
clockwise and then truing on the main switch.
(fig.7)
Changing direction of rotation
To change the direction of rotation, first turn the
control to position 0 and wait until the spiral cutter
has stopped. Then turn the control clockwise and
turn on the main switch. (fig.7)
Motor protection
The grinder is equipped with a built-in motor protection
which prevents the motor being overloaded.
In the event of overloading, the main switch is turned
off automatically. The current is broken.
After the reason for the overload or blocking has been
removed and the device has sufficiently cooled down
(5 minutes), the shredder will be ready for operation
again. Push the overload cut-out (3) to activate this
protection feature again. Only then switch on the de-
vice using the mains switch (2) (fig.7).
Automatic Change in direction of rotation
In the event of a sudden blockage, the machine can
automatically change the direction of rotation. This
causes the material to be fed back.
• Switch off the machine.
• Wait until the spiral cutter has stopped
• Start the machine again and use material which can
be processed more easily.
Stopping the motor
Stop the motor by turning the switch to position 0.
Do not feed in any material after the motor has been
stopped. This will get caught in the machine and can
make restarting impossible.
Disconnect the plug if the machine is to be left unsu-
pervised.
Disconnect switch
The machine is equipped with a disconnect switch.
This means that the main switch is automatically dis-
connected in the event of a loss of current. The ma-
chine can be started again by reconnecting the plug
and turning on the main switch.
Adjust the adjustment knob
The cutting mechanism is adjusted in the works and
does not have to be set during initial commissioning.
Switch on device (switch in right position)
Turn adjusting screw (Allen key, 6 mm) (8) in a clock-
wise direction with the motor running until scraping
noises are heard and fine aluminum chips fall out of
the delivery chute. Worn points on the shaving plate
are optimally compensated (fig.8).
This improves the cutting of the shredding material.
