Choose a working position alongside the
equipment or behind it. Never stand near the ejecting
opening.
Never reach into the filling or ejection opening.
Keep your face and body away from the filling
opening.
Never place hands, other parts of the body or
clothing into the filler funnel, ejection channel or in
the vicinity of other moving parts.
Check that no chopped residues are in the filling
hopper before switching on the equipment.
Do not tip or tilt the machine when the motor is
running.
When filling, be careful that no pieces of metal,
stones, bottles or other objects unintended for
processing, enter the filling hopper.
Immediately switch off the equipment and allow it to
come to a stop, if foreign objects enter the filling
hopper or if the equipment 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 chop?
Yes:
• organic household and garden waste
e. g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers and
vegetable kitchen waste.

t h e g a r d e n c h o p
No:
• glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots
with soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.
Special informations on the chopping
procedure:
Branches, twigs and wood should be broken down
immediately after they have been cut
material of this kinds gets very hard when it is
−
dry, and it therefore makers sense to reduce the
maximum branch diameters, so that it is ready for
chopping.
Remove any side shoots from branches with a large
number of twigs.
How to chop garden and kitchen waste with hight
water content and a tendency to clog
to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate
p e r
p e r
−
waste with wood containing material.
Do not allow the chopped material to pile up too high
in the area of the ejection opening. This can lead to
shredded material 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.
Please do not exceed the maximum branch
diameter specified for your appliance (∅ see p. 16).
The blades largely pull the material into the machine
by themselves.
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 ensures that the machine turns itself off
automatically
turn the shredder on again after about 5 minutes
−
during those five minutes you cannot turn the
−
machine, see point „Operational faults".
