– Check to see if there are any visible defects: bro-
ken parts, cracks, etc.
– Keep face and body away from the feed hopper.
– Keep hands, other parts of the body or clothing
away from the feed hopper, the ejection opening
and other movable parts.
– When feeding material into the feed hopper
never stand on a higher surface than the product.
Chipping
DANGER! Risk of injury! Overloading
caused, for example, by a blocked blade
drum or material that is too thick will cause
the product to come to a standstill after a
few seconds. The overload protection of
the motor switches off the power supply
automatically to protect the motor from
damage. Wait at least one minute, then
press the reset button (4) for a restart, set
the directional switch (5) to reverse and
then press the On/Off switch (6).
Note: The product has a safety function
that prevents it accidentally starting up
again after power failure.
Starting the product
Figure 4 – Page 4
– Insert the connection cable into the connection
socket (7).
Figure 5 – Page 4
– Press the On/Off switch (6).
– The product starts.
– Put the directional switch (5) into the required
position.
• A: Material to be cut is pulled in automatically,
forwards operation (continuous use).
• B: Material to be cut is pushed backwards
through the feed hopper, reverse operation
(push-button operation).
• C: With the switch in the middle position, the
blade drum does not rotate.
Note: Before changing direction, always
switch the product off and wait until the
blade drum has come to a standstill.
– Before starting work, wait until the product has
reached working speed.
Instructions for chipping
Noise disturbance! Work with the product
is not allowed during customary rest peri-
ods.

• Cut up organic garden residues may be used as
biological fertiliser for the garden. Put biologically
degradable material such as leaves, branches
and grass into the feed hopper (1) in measured
quantities to prevent blocking.
• Cut material can be collected in a container
below the ejection opening (9).
• Only feed in material in quantities that do not
block the feed hopper (1).
• Alternate between twigs and garden rubbish that
has been stored for several days and is thus limp
and damp. This prevents the blade drum from
blocking.
• Soft waste such as kitchen waste is not suitable
for the chipper and should be composted.
• Before new material is fed in, heavily branched
material with leaves must be completely cut up.
• Heavy material or branches will cause the chip-
per to block if you attempt to cut them with no
breaks. Pull the material out by hand a short way
in order to counteract this problem, or use the
directional switch (5).
• Carefully inspect the material to be cut. The pro-
duct may become seriously damaged from
stones, nails or similar objects.
Strong vibration of the product indicates damaged or
blunt blades. In this case, replace blades.
Removing blockages
Figure 6 – Page 5
– Switch the directional switch (5) to the reverse
position, and switch on the product.
– The blade drums rotates backwards and relea-
ses the trapped material. You may need to press
the On/Off switch a number of times in order to
free up the blockage.
– To continue working, switch the product off,
switch the directional switch (5) to the forwards
position and turn the product on.
– In the event of stubborn blockages, the gap bet-
ween the pressure plate and the blade drum can
be increased. To do this, turn the adjustment
screw (8) anti-clockwise and use the directional
switch (5) to bring the blade drum to the reverse
position. When the trapped material is freed, the
pressure plate must be adjusted back again.
DANGER! Risk of injury! Clean the cut-
ting tool carefully. Even when the product
is switched off and the cutting blades are
stopped, the cutting tools may still move.
