5. Installation

The garden shredder is delivered unassembled. The
chassis and the wheels must be fitted before use.
Follow the operating instructions step-by-step and
use the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily
assemble the machine.
5.1 Assembling the chassis (Fig. 3)
Place the motor housing upside down on the
floor.
Insert the chassis into the provided openings as
far as it will go.
5.2 Assembling the axle and wheels (Figs. 4-10)
Remove the nuts and washers from the axle.
Mount the chassis as shown in Figs. 4-10.

6. Operation

Please observe the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement during operating times, which may
differ from town to town.
6.1 Connecting up the machine and switching it
on
Connect the coupling on the machine connection
cable (extension) to the power cable (Fig. 1/Item
9).
The machine can be switched ON (switch
position "I") and OFF (switch position "0") using
the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 11).
Note: The machine cannot be switched on if there is
no voltage being supplied to it. If the power supply is
interrupted, the machine will switch off automatically
(switch position "0"). The machine cannot be
switched on again until the voltage supply has been
re-established and the ON/OFF switch has been
moved to position "I".
6.2 Overload protection (motor circuit-breaker)
The motor is protected from overloads by an
overload switch.
During operation the control pin projects out of the
overload switch housing by around 4 mm. If the
motor is overloaded for a lengthy period, the overload
switch (Fig. 3/Item 10) will trip and switch off the
machine. In this case the pin on the overload switch
will project out of the housing by around 8 mm and
the ON/OFF switch will automatically move to "0".
After waiting for at least 1 minute the control pin in
the overload switch can be pressed and the ON/OFF
switch then switched on again (switch position "I").

If the motor fails to start, clean the ejector chute.
6.3 Practical tips
Be sure to observe the safety instructions (see
supplied booklet).
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
The material is drawn into the shredder automatic-
ally. CAUTION! Long pieces of material projecting
out of the funnel inlet may whiplash when it is
drawn in – keep a safe distance between yourself
and the machine.
Judge the quantity of material which you put into
the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not clog.
If you want to shred withered, damp material that
has been lying in the garden for several days,
alternate between putting in this material and
branches. This will help to prevent the loading
funnel becoming clogged with material.
Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) – put
it straight in the compost box.
Entangled branches and leaves should be tho
roughly shredded before loading any more materi-
al.
Do not allow the discharge opening to become
clogged with shredded material – risk of pile-ups.
Do not cover the ventilation slits.
Do not place heavy material or thick branches into
the machine continuously. This may cause the
blade to jam.
Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed objects
from the funnel or discharge openings.
6.4 Safety
The shredder has a safety switch (Figure 12a/Item A)
in its interior on the motor housing. The control unit
for it (Figure 13/Item F) is located on the loading
funnel.
If the loading hopping is not perfectly position or if it
is not pressed against the motor housing, the
will trip and prevent the motor from working. If
SWITCH
this situation occurs, open the loading funnel as
described above. Carefully clean the interior. Close
the loading funnel again as described above and
ensure that when you switch on the machine again
the loading funnel is correctly position and the safety
screw is screwed right in.
CAUTION! NEVER undo the release screw (Figure
1/Item 12) without first switching off the machine at
the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 11) and
disconnecting the coupling on the machine
connection cable (extension) from the machine plug.
