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.
Important: The material will be crushed, mashed
and shredded by the cutting unit, thus accelerating
the decomposition process for composting.
7.5 Adjusting the counter blade (Fig. 3)
The counter blade and cutting unit are perfectly
adjusted at the factory. Only if it suffers wear does
the counter blade require adjustment (switch the
machine on for this purpose). To ensure the best
possible results from your shredder, the gap between
the counter blade (item B) and the shredding blade
(item A) should be approx. 0.50 mm.
There is an adjustment device on the right-hand side
of the plastic housing for this purpose. Turn the knob
clockwise so that the screw moves towards the
shredding blade. After a half-turn the counter blade
will have moved 0.50 mm closer to the shredding
blade. After completing this adjustment check
whether the blade produces the desired results.
IMPORTANT: If the shredding blade touches the
counter blade, it will cut it and small metal chips may
fall out of the discharge opening. This is not a fault,
but it must only be adjusted as much as necessary
since otherwise the counter blade will suffer
premature wear.

8. Troubleshooting

Motor does not run
The motor protection switch has tripped. Move the
switch for selecting the direction of rotation to
position "0" and press the reset knob. Press and
hold the ON/OFF switch to switch on the shredder
after a brief delay. Once the blockage has been
cleared, return the switch for selecting the
direction of rotation to position "1".
Power failure
Check the mains lead, plug and fuse.
Material is not drawn in by the shredder
The shredding blade rotates backwards
Check the direction of rotation
Material blockage in the funnel
Move the switch for selecting the direction of
rotation to position "0" and switch on the shredder.

Pull the material out of the funnel. Feed in thick
branches again so that the blade does not
immediately engage again in the notches it
previously cut.
The shredding blade is jammed
Move the switch for selecting the direction of
rotation to position "0" and switch on the shredder.
The blade will now rotate in the opposite direction
and release the jammed material.
Important! Do not change the direction of rotation
until the shredder has reached a complete
standstill.

9. Care and maintenance

Caution! Interrupt the power supply by pulling the
plug out of the socket-outlet before you carry out any
checks or maintenance work on the machine.
Clean the machine regularly. This will help to keep
the machine in good working order and is the
basis for a long working life.
Keep the vent slots clean while you work.
Clean the plastic body and other plastic parts with
a mild household cleaning agent and a damp
cloth. Do not use any aggressive agents or
solvents for cleaning purposes.
Never clean the shredder by spraying with water.
Prevent water getting inside the machine at all
cost.
Check the chassis securing screws from time to
time to ensure that they are tight.
If you do not intend to use the shredder for a
lengthy period, protect it from corrosion using
environmentally friendly oil.
