Immediately switch of the machine in the
following cases:
- whenever you leave the machine,
- before clearing blockages or unclogging
chute,
- before checking, cleaning or working on
the machine,
- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
machine for damage and make repairs
before restarting and operating the
machine;
Put the machine on a solid and even
surface at all times. Never tilt or move the

Switching the machine on/off (Fig. A & E)
Never attempt to put your hand inside the
feeder hopper (1). If you want to push
material into the cutting chamber use the
push stick (12).
• Connect the extension cable to the socket (13)
and check the power on indicator (14) is light-
ning up.
• Check if the feeder hopper (1) is empty.
• As a safety feature, the shredder will not start
unless the safety switch (11) is locked in the
upwards position. To start shredding press the
function switch (15) downwards, then press the
ON switch (16). To use the reverse mode, press
the function switch (15) in the upwards, then
press the ON switch (16). The machine starts
returning material. The reverse mode is used
when too much material has been fed in and
the machine threatens to clog.
• To stop the machine, press the OFF switch
(17), then press the function switch (15) to the
neutral middle position.
Working instructions
• Branches and pruning waste become harder to
shred depending on the type age and dryness
of the wood. Best results are obtained by shred-
ding fresh, soft cuttings with dry branches.
• The suitability of the shredder for cutting
garden waste which is soft and contains large
amounts of sap (e.g. pomaceous fruit, wet
plant waste) is limited. This material should be
composted straight away.

• Empty the collection box (10) when it is 80%
full. The collection box (10) fills unevenly under
the ejector opening. When the ejector opening
is blocked by shredding waste this will have
a negative influence on the machine perfor-
mance.
• Insert the material to be processed into the
feeding hopper (1). The material is drawn into
the machine automatically. Use the push stick
(12) to help feed the machine.
• Always allow the machine to cool down before
storing.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
Use only genuine replacement parts and
accessories.
Adjusting the counter blade knob
Inside the machine there is a cutting cylinder and a
counter blade. For optimal performance both com-
ponents are perfectly adjusted in the factory. Only
if it is subject to wear the counter blade needs an
adjustment. This wear can be noticed by reduced
performance of the machine, the shredded material
is only compressed and leaves the machine in long
strings. For proper adjustment turn the machine
on and press the function switch downwards in the
shredding mode, then turn the knob (19) clock-
wise till the cutting unit sligtly touches the counter
blade. This touch can be heard when the machine
is running. When this point is reached turn the
knob (19) a half turn ANTI-clockwise.
Restart protection
This protection prevents accidental machine start
after power failure. When power is restored, turn
on the machine again.
Overload protection and blockages
If the machine is exposed to a high load (e.g.
cutting cylinder is blocked), it will stop after a few
seconds.
• Press the function switch (15) to the neutral
central position.
• Wait for at least one minute before you press
the overload protection reset (18).
• Press the function switch (15) in the upwards
position to allow the machine to return the
clogged material.
• Press the ON switch (16) to start the machine.
