Choose a working position alongside the equipment.
Longer material that is protruding from the device could
spring back when it is drawn in by the blades! Observe safety
distance!
Use the supplied stuffer to restuff material to be shredded.
Never reach into the filling or ejection opening.
Keep your face and body away from the filling opening.
Never place hands, other parts of the body or clothing into the
filler funnel, ejection channel or in the vicinity of other moving
parts.
Check that no chopped residues are in the filling hopper be-
fore switching on the equipment.
Do not tip or tilt the machine when the motor is running.
When filling, be careful that no pieces of metal, stones, bottles
or other objects unintended for processing, enter the filling
hopper.
Immediately switch off the equipment and allow it to come to a
stop, if foreign objects enter the filling hopper or if the equip-
ment starts to make unusual noises or vibrates. Remove the
mains plug and carry out the following checks:
inspect for damage,
−
replace or repair damaged parts,
−
− check the equipment and tighten loose parts.
You must not repair the equipment yourself if you are
unauthorized to do so.

What can I shred?

Yes:
•
organic household and garden waste
e. g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers and vegetable
kitchen waste.
No:
•
glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots with
soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.

Special tips on shredding:

Branches, twigs and wood should be broken down immedi-
ately after they have been cut.
Material of this kinds gets very hard when it is dry, and the
−
maximum allowed branch diameter to be processed has to
be reduced.
Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number
of twigs.

How to shred garden and kitchen waste with hight water con-
tent and a tendency to clog
to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate waste with
−
wood containing material.
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.
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 p. 15).
Depending on the wood's nature and freshness the maximum
branch diameter the machine can process may be smaller.
The blades largely pull the material into the machine by them-
selves.
Strong branches may cause overloading. This can be avoided
by pulling them back from time to time.
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".
