All the repairs should only be performed by authorized
service professionals. Any attempted unauthorised repairs
performed can be a hazard to the user.
• Only Original accessories should be used, as well as
accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Using
accessories which are not recommended by the
manufacturer may result in damage of the device and may
render the device unsafe for use.
• Keep your workplace tidy and well lit.
• Disorder and insufficient lighting lead to accidents.
• Do not use power tools in explosive atmospheres, i.e. in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• A moment of carelessness may cause losing control of your
tool.
• If it is possible to fit power tools for dust extraction or
collection, check that they are fitted and working correctly.
Using such power tools reduces the risk posed by the
presence of dust.
• Do not lean out too far when working with your power tool.
Maintain a stable posture and balance. This allows you to
keep better control of your power tool in unforeseen
situations.

• Ensure that the vents are free from debris.
• The device may only be used in a dry, well-lit environment.
• This tool should not be used by anyone under the age of 16.
Electrical safety
Ÿ Connect the device only to an electrical supply of
characteristics in accordance with the information on the
data plate.
Ÿ The power tool plugs must match the power sockets. Never
alter the power cord plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and
suitable electrical sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Ÿ Avoid touching grounded or shorted to ground surfaces such
as piping, radiators, radiators and refrigerators. If parts that
are grounded or shorted to ground are touched, the risk of
electric shock increases.
Ÿ Do not expose electric devices to rain or humid conditions. If
water enters the power tool, the risk of an electric shock
increases.
Ÿ Do not tighten the connection cables. Never use the
connection cable to carry, pull electrical equipment or pull
the
GS7010

plug out of the socket. Keep the connection cable away from
heat sources, oils, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled connection cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
ŸBefore starting the work, check the power cord before
starting the work. Do not operate if the power cord or
extension cord is abraded, cut or otherwise damaged. If the
power cord is damaged during use, switch off the device and
unplug it from the socket.
ŸIf the power tool is used outdoors, the connection cables
should be extended with waterproof extension cords
designed to operate outdoors. Using such an extension cord
reduces the risk of an electric shock. The cross-section area of
2
the extension cord conductors should be at least 1.5 mm
when the length of the cable is less than 20 m, and if the
length of the cable is between 20 and 50 m, the minimum
2
cross-section is 2.5 mm .
ŸA residual current protection device (RCD) must be used as
protection against shock from the supply voltage. Using the
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. The equipment should
be supplied through an RCD with a rated current not
exceeding 30 mA.
General information
Ÿ The device is intended for house gardening use only as
described and protected by these instructions for use
Ÿ Do not put your hands into the shredder while in operation.
The blades still move for a few seconds after switching off.
Ÿ Make sure that no people are present around the machine.
Foreign bodies and debris may be ejected while the
machine is in operation.

Blade clearance adjustment
To ensure optimum operation of the shredder, set the clearance between the stationary blade and the
cutting roller by means of the blade pressure adjustment knob. Setting the clearance:
• Turn on the machine.
• Turn the adjustment knob counter clockwise to increase the distance of the stationary blade to the
cutting roller
• Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to bring the stationary blade closer to the cutting roller.
• It is recommended to control the blade pressure while the machine is in operation. The required
pressure may be different for the different cross-sections of the shredded branches.
MACHINE OPERATION
To start the shredder press the on/off switch to the position marked "I", to turn off press "0". Wait until
the blades start to rotate at full speed before loading the material for shredding. Do not place the
material in the loading tunnel when the machine is switched off or does not operate at full speed.
NOTE: The machine has an overload switch. The circuit breaker will be activated when the accumulated
shredded material blocks the cutting discs , the load is too hard or thick and exceeds the motor
capabilities, or there is too much resistance of the cutting blade . After removing the cause of the
machine overload, press the reset button.
NOTE: Switch off the machine in the event that the blade hits a hard object or unusual noises or
vibrations. Pull the plug out of the mains socket and do the following:
- inspect the blade and other components for damage;
- check for loose parts and tighten if necessary;
If necessary, contact an authorised service centre.
Shredding instructions
The hardness of branches and logs for shredding depends on the genre, age and degree of humidity of
the wood. The most efficient is shredding of fresh branches, soon after cutting. Soft garden waste
should be shredded in smaller batches, especially when it is moist. To prevent such material from
blocking, occasionally crush thicker branches or logs.
The branches protruding from the machine may hit the operator when being pulled in; therefore, keep
a safe distance!
Insert only an amount of material that does not block the shredder.
Damp or residual garden waste should be shredded alternately with thicker branches. This prevents
the blade from overloading
Do not place compost-type soft waste in the shredder. This type of material should be composted as
