Forward / Reverse switch
CAUTION:
Switch off the shredder before changing the forward /
reverse switch.
Position e
The blades rotate in forward direction.
Position d
The blades rotate in reverse direction to release jammed
material.
When you change the direction into d (reverse), keep
pushing the green button of the power switch to rotate
the blades. The shredder automatically stops when you
release the power switch.
NOTE:
• Several repetitions of reverse and forward operations
may be required to shred a large object.
CAUTION:
• Always use a hook or a stick to remove jammed objects
to prevent accidents.
• Always wait until the shredder stops completely before
restart.
Retaining basket
CAUTION:
• Switch off and unplug the machine before attaching or
removing the retaining basket.
• Check the functionality of the interlock feature every
two hours for safe operation.
• Never attempt to override the interlock feature of
guarding.
Lock lever:
Upper position → Retaining basket is locked.
Lower position → Retaining basket is unlocked.
The machine is not switched on if the lock lever is unlock
position. The machine automatically stops if the retaining
basket is unlocked during operation.
Blade cover
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the machine is switched off and
unplugged before opening the blade cover.
• Wear protective groves before opening the blade cover.
• The cutter does not stop immediately after switch off.
Wait until all the parts stop.
In case the material clogs badly in the upper enclosure,
remove them by opening the blade cover.
OPERATION
Set up the machine:
• On a flat, horizontal surface. Do not place the machine
on paved or graveled ground.
• With a safe distance (at least 2 m) away from walls or
other objects.
Before starting, make sure that:
• The connection cables are not damaged. If there is cuts
or tears, stop operation and replace it immediately.
• There is no damage on the machine, and all screws
are tight.
• The machine is assembled completely and correctly.
The device does not switch on
because of safety function.
Check the mains connection:
• Make sure that the mains voltage matches the rated
voltage on the nameplate and the machine is properly
grounded.
• Use only extension cords with sufficient core
cross-section.
The material which the shredder can process
The shredder can process following types of material:
• All types of branches up to the maximum diameter
of the machine's capacity, depending on type and
condition of wood
• Garden refuses such as withered plants or wet weed
which has been laid some days (Feed them alternating
with branches.)
The shredder can NOT process following types of
material:
• Glass, metal, plastic, stones, ceramics, thicker
branches, hard wood, thick wood plates, cloth, plastic
bags, roots with soil.
• Garbage which is almost liquid state, e.g. kitchen
garbage.
Operation: (Fig. 8)
• Feed the material into the filling hopper from the right
side.
• In case of branches, twigs and wood, shred them just
after they are cut. They may get very hard as they
become dry.
• Remove any side shoots from branches if they are not
easy to feed.
• Turn off the motor and disconnect the machine from the
mains power supply before cleaning ejection opening.
• Do not let the shredded material accumulated in
ejection opening. Otherwise those shredded material
may block the ejection opening. Empty the retaining
basket regularly.
• Do not feed material which is more than the maximum
branch diameter specified in Technical data. Depending
on the wood's freshness and condition, the maximum
branch diameter may be smaller.
• Shredding wet garden waste results in a clog. To
prevent the machine from clogging, alternate waste
with wood containing material.
• Soft material or wet branches may be torn instead of
being cut. Worn counter blade may also cause this
problem.
• If the machine becomes clogged at the inlet opening or
discharge chute, switch off the motor and unplugged
before clearing debris in the inlet opening or discharge
chute. Keep the power source clear of debris and other
accumulations to prevent damage to the power source
or possible fire.
Adjusting the blade clearance (Fig. 9)
For an effective operation, adjust the clearance between
the counter blade and cutting roller.
Setting the clearance:
• Switch on the device.
• Turn the fixing knob counterclockwise to release the
adjusting knob.
• Turn the adjusting knob clockwise slowly to place the
counter blade closer to the cutting roller. Turn it until fine
aluminum chips are falling from the ejection opening.
