10.5 Overload protection
If the motor is overloaded, e.g. if the roller is blocked by
branches that are too thick, the device switches off automati-
cally.
10.6 Working notes
m Attention!
Keep a sufficient distance from the
device when shredding, as long
branches can kick out when being
pulled in. There is a danger of in-
jury.
• Ensure that the collecting container (8) is pushed properly
into the machine stand and that the safety switch (9) is in
the top position.
• Connect the roller shredder to the power supply (see
10.1).
• Put the roller shredder into operation using the on switch
(2) (see 10.2).
• Hold branches when feeding them into the device until
they are automatically drawn in.
• Alternate the chopping of wilting garden waste and
branches that have been stored for several days with
branches in order to prevent clogging.
• Before shredding, remove roots from attached soil debris
and stones.
• Do not shred soft, moist material such as kitchen waste,
but compost it directly.
• Allow the roller shredder to fully shred the
chopped material introduced before you in-
troduce any new materials.
• Do not use your hands to push down the chopped mate-
rial, only use a specialist plug (c) for this or other chopped
material.
• Switch off the roller shredder after the work has been com-
pleted and disconnect it from the power supply.
• Save a few dry branches until the end to use them to help
clean the device.
• Do not switch off the device until all the chopped material
has passed through the cutting roller area. Otherwise, the
cutting roller may jam when restarting.
10.7 Unblocking
ATTENTION:
If the material becomes jammed, first press
the off switch (3) to stop the device.
1. Press the roller rotation direction switch (11) to position
"II".
2. Start the device by pressing the on switch (2).
3. The device runs in jog mode. As long as the switch for the
roller rotation direction is held in position "II", the cutting
roller runs in reverse.
4. Trapped chopped material is released.
5. Replace the direction of rotation again to continue shred-
ding (see 10.3).

10.8 Emptying the collecting container
Empty the collecting container in good time. Note that the col-
lecting container under the ejector chute fills unevenly!
1. Switch off the device and remove the plug from the socket.
2. Place the safety switch (9) on the collecting container (8)
in its lowest position.
3. Pull out the collecting container (8) and empty it.
4. Make sure that the area of the safety switch (9) is free of
wood splinters before you push the collecting container
(8) back in.
5. Replace the collecting container (8) and push the safety
switch (9) back up to the stop.
10.9 Adjusting the pressure plate
The pressure plate has been preset at the factory.
The running-in process of a new machine may
make it necessary to readjust the pressure plate
at shorter intervals at the beginning.
You can recognise the right time to readjust the
pressure plate by the fact that the chopped mate-
rial is only slightly crushed and still hangs togeth-
er in a chain.
1. Empty the collection container (8) and put the roller shred-
der into operation.
2. Slowly rotate the adjusting screw (5) clockwise until slight
grinding noises can be heard. The cutting roller is brought
approx. 0.50 mm closer to pressure plate with a clock-
wise half-turn of the adjusting screw (5).
3. The pressure plate is correctly set, as soon as no grinding
noise is audible.
4. Note: Metal chips may be produced by adjusting the
pressure plate. Chopped material with metal chips is haz-
ardous waste and must NOT be composted. To avoid this
hazardous waste, empty and clean the collection contain-
er (8) immediately after setting the pressure plate.
5. Check the setting of the pressure plate by shredding a few
branches on a trial basis. Properly dispose this chopped
material, which could possibly contain metal chips.
Note:
If the shredder blade touches the
pressure plate, the pressure plate
is recut and small metal chips can
fall out of the ejection opening. This
is not a defect, but readjustment
may only be made to the extent
necessary, otherwise the pressure
plate will wear out prematurely.
11. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies
with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The
customer's mains connection as well as the exten-
sion cable used must also comply with these regu-
lations.
