20. Do not allow processed material to build up in the dis-
charge zone; this may prevent proper discharge and
can result in kickback of material through the feed
intake opening.
How do I operate this product?
Starting and Stopping the shredder
Press the switch (12) marked "1" to start and marked "0"
to stop the motor.
Press the "circuit breaker" (10) button if the machine does
not work, ensure you have connected to the power sup-
ply.
When the motor has been running for a few seconds you
can commence shredding.
The circuit breaker (10) will be activated in the following
circumstances:
a. A build up of shredded material around the cutting disc.
b. If the material bring shredded is greater then the mo-
tor capacity.
c. Where there is too much resistance against the cut-
ting blade.
When the circuit breaker (10) has been activated switch-
off the shredder and disconnect the power supply.
a. Unscrew the locking knob (11) at the base of the turret
and open top section
b. Remove the debris or obstruction from the cutting
area.
c. Return the top section and tighten the locking knob.
d. Leave motor a few minutes to cool down
e. Reconnect to the power supply and press the circuit
breaker button.
f. When ready to start shredding press the "1" switch.
Warning: NEVER slacken off the tightening knob (11)
without having turned off the On/Off switch (12) and
pulled the plug (14) out off the socket.
Warning: The shredder will stop within 5 seconds after
switching off.
Using the Plunger (Fig.5 and 6)
There are a plunger (15) provided to aid feeding less
bulky material such as small twigs, leaves, other garden
waste and vegetation into the in-feed chute.
1. Load the material into the hopper.
2. Insert the plunger into the in-feed chute pushing the
material onto the blade disc.
3. Wait until all the material has been shredder before
adding more material.
NOTE: Your fingers must never enter the in-feed chute.
NOTE: Never use the tool if the hopper is not fitted.
NOTE: Do not over reach.
How do I collect the shredded material?
Shut-off the power unit before attaching or removing the
bag.
You can use either the collection bag (17) supplied (if
supplied) or place the shredder on a tarpaulin sheet to
catch the shredded material.
GB | Operating Instructions
When using the collection bag, you need to fit the col-
lection bag hooks onto the sides of the discharge chute.
Warning: The ventilation slots on the machine body must
never be covered by the collection bag or shredded ma-
terial.

6. Remove the blade and rotate it through 180 degrees
7. Repeat this for the other blade.
When both cutting edges of the blade have become worn
they must be replaced as a pair. The blades can be re-
sharpened, but this must be done by an experienced
person using an oil stone. We do not recommend this
be done as the weight of each blade is critical to main-
tain the balance of the cutting disc. Any imbalance could
cause damage to the machine and possible injury to the
operator.
