- Button „▲" - clockwise: This button switches
the direction of the blade cylinder from anti-
clockwise back to clockwise.
Once the material is clamped in position, first press
the red switch to stop the device. Press the reverse
switch then the green switch to restart the device. Re-
move the jammed material. Press the red switch to
stop the device again, then press the forward switch.
Then you can continue to work.
• On switch (9): Pressing this button starts the
shredder and the blade cylinder rotates clockwise.
• Off switch (9): Pressing this button stops the
shredder.
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.
• Make sure the collection box (6) is pushed into the
frame (5) correctly and the locking device (3) is in
the upper position.
• 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.
• Caution: If the shredding material becomes
jammed, use the switch to change the rotational di-
rection of the cylinder (10) so it runs anti-clockwise.
• 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 or other
shredding material.
• When you have finished working with the shredder,
turn it off and disconnect it from the mains.
Emptying the collection box
• Stop the shredder using the off button (9).
• Set the locking device (3) to the lowest position.
• Pull out the collection box (6) and empty it.
• Re-insert the collection box (6) and push the lock-
ing device (3) up again.
Setting the counter blade
The counter blade and the blade cylinder have
been ideally adjusted by the manufacturer. Re-
adjusting the counter blade is only required if it
becomes worn. For maximum performance, it is
necessary that the distance between the counter
blade and blade cylinder is about 0.50 mm.
• Turn the shredder on.
• Turn the adjustment wheel (4) clockwise until you
can hear slight grinding sounds.
