OPERATION

WARNING:
Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully
assembled according to the instructions. Read
through and become familiarized with the
following procedures of handling and adjusting
your tool. Failure to follow the safety instructions
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Wear ANSI Z87.1-approved safety glasses,
work-appropriate clothing, work gloves, and
dust mask. Read through the safety section. Do
not allow any part of the body or your clothing
near the feeding chute or the discharge chute.
Never reach under the hopper until the shredder
has come to a complete stop and has been
disconnected from the power supply.
BASIC SHREDDING OPERATION
(Fig. 5)
1. Place the shredder on a dry, level ground in the upright
position. Do not operate the shredder if it is tilted or lying
on its side.
2. Check to make sure that the hopper is empty. Close
the hopper tightly by turning the hopper lock knob (A)
clockwise. The shredder will not run if the hopper is open
or not fully closed.
3. Inappropriate materials may damage the machine and
cutting blades. Examine all materials before feeding
them into the shredder:
• Remove pieces of metal, rocks or other foreign objects
that may damage the blades.
• Do not feed wooden sticks with a diameter larger than
1.5 inch.
• Before shredding roots, remove any remaining soil and
stones.
• Do not shred soft, damp material such as kitchen waste.
4. Connect the shredder to the power source and turn the
power switch to ON (B).
5. Follow the rules below when feeding materials:
• Only insert as much material as needed to prevent
blockage of the feeding chute.
• Feed wilted and damp materials alternately with dry
branches to prevent cutting blades from blocking up.
• Branches with leaves must be completely processed
before new material is fed. Make sure that the chopped
material can fall freely from the discharge chute.
• Maintain the working speed of the shredder and do not
overload it.

• Keep a few dry branches to be shredded at the end, as
they will help clean your shredder.
NOTE:
For optimal performance, we recommend
shredding materials with diameters less than 1".
NOTE:
The power switch is equipped with a safety key
to prevent children from accidentally starting the
machine. Turn off the power switch and remove
the safety key to engage the childsafety lock and
prevent unwanted start-ups. The switch cannot
be turned on when the safety key is removed.
6. Slowly insert the branch into the hopper through the
feeding chute. Keep hold of the branch at a safe distance
from the feeding chute until it is automatically drawn into
the shredder.
7. Use the included paddle to push the material inside the
hopper, but be careful not to shred the paddle.
8. Only switch off the shredder after all of the shredding
materials have passed through the discharge chute.
Otherwise, the discharge chute may jam the next time
the shredder is turned on.
9. When all shredding work is complete, switch the
machine to OFF and unplug the power cord. Wait for the
blades to come to a complete stop before leaving the
work area.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION (Fig. 6)
Your electric shredder is equipped with overload protection.
If the shredder is clogged during shredding, the overload
protection will cut the power automatically to protect your
shredder. Wait at least 1 minute for the motor to cool down
before restarting the unit.
To restart the shredder:
1. Press the reset button (A).
2. Turn the power switch ON (B).
3. If the shredder will not start, it might be jammed inside.
Turn the shredder OFF and unplug the power cord. Wait
for the blades to come to a complete stop. Clear the
clogged materials.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
To avoid accidents, turn OFF and unplug the
