Special tips on shredding:
Branches, twigs and wood should be broken down immediate-
ly after they have been cut.
− Material of this kinds gets very hard when it is dry, and the
maximum allowed branch diameter to be processed has to
be reduced.
Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number
of twigs.
How to shred garden and kitchen waste with hight water con-
tent and a tendency to clog
− to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate waste with
wood containing material.
Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded mate-
rial blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the filler
opening.
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.
Please do not exceed the maximum branch diameter speci-
fied (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (∅ see "Technical
data"). Depending on the wood's nature and freshness the
maximum branch diameter the machine can process may be
smaller.
The blades largely pull the material into the machine by them-
selves.
Strong branches may cause overloading. This can be avoided
by pulling them back from time to time.
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".
