Control panel (Fig. L)
• On switch (9): Tilt the button upwards; the shred-
der starts.

Working with the shredder
Alternating with branches, shred withered gar-
den waste and branches that have been stored
several days to prevent the shredder from be-
coming blocked.
• Connect the shredder to the power supply.
• Turn the shredder on by using the on switch (9).
• Fill shredding material into the feed hopper and it
will be drawn in.
• Make sure the shredder has completely shred-
ded the input material before adding new.
• Do not use your hands to push in more shredding
material. Use the special pushing device (c) or oth-
er shredding material.
• When you have finished working with the shredder,
turn it off and disconnect it from the mains.
Changing the knife
Await complete standstill of cutter. Before work-
ing on cutter, remove mains plug.
The reversible steel blade can be used on both sides
and can be replaced quickly and easily.
Caution when working: There is a danger to fingers
and hands. It is extremly important to use only well
sharpened knives.
So please note:
A blunt knife impairs cutting performance and makes
work difficult.
A sure sign of a blunt knife is a reduction in automatic
pull. Engine heats up, overload protection triggers.

the inner hexagon socket in order to unscrew the
screw.
• The blade, as well as the blade surface area of the
cutting disc, must be cleaned of hardened debris
material.
Sharpening the blade
• In resharpening the blade (19), pay close attention
to maintaining an even blade-diameter so as to
avoid an imbalanced blade.
• In resharpening the blade, a maximum of only 2
mm may be removed from each cutting edge.
Install Blade

mounted exactly as before.
• In mounting the blade, lubricate the flat head
screws (20) and tighten well.
• Tighten the countersunk screw firmly.
• Mount the aluminium cover.
• Use the locking screw to close the housing
• The device is ready for operation.
Overload protection

too thick, the equipment automatically switches off.
After a short cooling period (approximately 5 min-
utes), press the reset switch (7).
