Changing The Blades - ATIKA AMA 2300 Manual Original

 Do not tilt or transport the machine (relocation) while the mo-
tor is running.
 Make sure that the motor is free from waste material and
other material accumulation to protect it against damage and
to prevent fire.
 When filling, be careful that no pieces of metal, stones, bottles
or other objects unintended for processing, enter the filling
hopper.
 Power off the machine before attaching or removing the col-
lecting bag. Power off the machine before attaching or remov-
ing the collecting bag.
 Immediately switch off the equipment and allow it to come to a
stop, if foreign objects enter the filling hopper or if the equip-
ment starts to make unusual noises or vibrates. Remove the
mains plug and carry out the following checks:
− inspect for damage,
− replace or repair damaged parts,
− check the equipment and tighten loose parts.
You must not repair the equipment yourself if you are
unauthorized to do so.
 What can I shred?
Yes:
• organic household and garden waste
e. g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers and vegetable
kitchen waste.
No:
• glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots with
soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.

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.

Use a tamper or hook to remove jammed objects from
the hopper or ejection slot.
 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".
