Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded mate-
rial blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the filler
opening. Empty the retaining basket on a regular basis.
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 speci-
fied (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (∅ see "Technical
data"). Depending on the wood's nature and freshness the
maximum branch diameter the machine can process may be
smaller.
The cutter automatically draws the shredding material into the
machine through the slow rotation of the cutting rollers.
Automatic switch-over in the direction of rotation:
If the unit suddenly clogs, the blades may start to turn in the
opposite direction and push the shredded material back out.
Switch off unit
−
Wait until the blades come to a standstill
−
Switch unit back on and use material which is easier to
−
process.
If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor switch en-
sures that the machine turns itself off automatically.
Turn the shredder on again after about 5 minutes.
−
If you cannot turn on the machine after this waiting time re-
−
fer to „Operational faults".

It is possible to adjust the counter blade (B) at the cutting roller
(A) free of clearance. For an effective operation, an as small as
possible clearance should be maintained.
Soft material or wet branches may tear instead of being cut. A
counter blade that is worn after repeated use may also lead to
this problem.
Setting the clearance.
Switch on the device.
There is an adjustment device on the right hand side of the plastic
housing. To adjust the distance turn the adjusting knob (D) clock-
wisely so that the screw (C) moves toward the cutting roller. Turn
until fine aluminium chips are falling from the ejection slot.

Each time before starting maintenance work:
− Switch off the motor and pull out the mains plug.
− Wear protective gloves to prevent injury.
The cutters will not come to a standstill immediately after
cut-off. Before starting any service work wait until all parts
are stationary.
Be sure to have removed any tools from the machine after
completion of service work.

Generally garden shredders require little maintenance. To
maintain their efficiency and a long life, observe the fol-
lowing:
− Keep vent slits clean and free from obstructions.
− Check the locking screws (tighten where necessary).
− Clean the device after shredding.
To clean your product only use a warm moist cloth and a
soft brush.
Never use cleaning agents or solvents. Otherwise the de-
vice may be damaged irreversibly. Plastic parts may be
corroded by chemicals.
− Do not clean the machine with running water or high-
pressure cleaners.
− After each operation treat bare metal parts with an envi- −
ronment-compatible biodegradable spray oil to protect
them against corrosion.
− the cutting roller and shaving plate are expendable parts,
though with normal use and correct adjustment they have
a service life of many years.
