es at all times while operating the ma-
chine.
4) Avoid wearing clothing that is loose
fitting or that has hanging cords or
ties.
5) Only operate the machine in open
space (e.g. not close to a wall or other
fixed object) and on a firm, level sur-
face.
6) Do not operate the machine on a
paved or gavel surface where ejected
material could cause injury.
7) Before starting the machine, check that
all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fas-
teners are properly secured and that
guards and screens are in place. Re-
place damaged or unreadable labels.
8) Before starting the product, make cer-
tain that the feed inlet is empty.
9) Do not operate the product in the vi-
cinity of bystanders.
3) Operation
1) Keep your face and body away from
the feed inlet opening.
2) Do not allow hands or any other part
of the body or clothing inside the feed-
ing chamber, discharge chute, or near
any moving part.
3) Keep proper balance and footing at all
times. Do not overreach. Never stand
at a higher level than the base of the
machine when feeding material into
it.
4) Always stand clear of the discharge
zone when operating this machine.
5) When feeding material into the ma-

and allow the machine to stop. Discon-
nect from supply and take the follow-
ing steps:
- inspect for damage.
- check for and tighten any loose parts.
- have any damaged parts replaced or
repaired with parts having equivalent
specifications.
7) Do not allow processed material to
build up in the discharge zone; this

ply, make sure that all moving parts
have come to a complete stop and,
where a key is fitted remove the key.
Allow the machine to cool before mak-
ing any inspections, adjustments, etc.
2) When servicing the cutting means be
aware that, even though the power
source will not start due to the inter-
lock feature of the guard, the cutting
means can still be moved by a manual
starting mechanism.

part for replacement.
Shredding material (See Fig L)
Fig L
Feed the material to be chopped into
the right side of the feeding funnel, the
material is pulled in by the cutting blade
automatically.

Caution! Longer material standing
out from the machine could lash out
when being pulled in by the blades!
Keep at safety distance!
Caution! When using the machine and
feeding branches into the shredder,
sometime the blades snatch and pull
the material into the machine. Watch
out your hand as it could cause
serious injury.
Only insert as much material so as to
prevent blockage of the feeding funnel.
Chop garden waste that has been stored
for some days and is wilted and damp
alternately with branches.This prevents
the cutting blades from blocking up.
Do not fill soft waste such as kitchen
rubbish into the shredder but compost
them.
Widely branched material with leaves
must be completely chopped before
new material is fed.
Take care that the chopped material can
fall freely from the ejection slot - danger
of backing up!
Caution! The ventilation must not be
covered
ADVICE ON SHREDDING
•Heavy material or branches result in
blocking of the cutting blades during
continuous cutting.
•Soft materials, such as leaves or stems
may block the feeding opening. Feed the
soft material using the supplied push
bar.
•Always feed the material to be
chopped from the right corner of the
feeding funnel.
•Check the material to be chopped
carefully. Make sure there are no stones
or nails as these could damage the
shredder seriously.
•Check for signs of vibration. Heavy
vibration is caused by damaged or worn
blades. Change the blades if necessary.
MAINTENANCE
•Take care of your machine and clean it
regularly to obtain long-lasting efficiency
and performance.
•Keep the air vents clean and free from
dust.
•Use only a warm damp cloth and a soft
brush to clean your machine.
•Never wet or spray water on the ma-
chine.
•Do not use detergents or solvents as
these could cause irreparable damage to
your machine. Chemicals can destroy the
plastic parts.
•The tightness of the fastening screws
of the undercarriage should be checked
from time to time.
•To protect the shredder from corrosion
when storing for a longer period, treat
the cutting blade with harmless oil to the
environment.
