Using the Garden Shredder
Easy Steps to getting Started
1Unpack the Garden Shredder:
a) Open carton carefully and remove
all items.
b) Ensure you have all items before
you discard the packaging.
2 Assemble unit:
To assemble this unit please refer to the
user guide.
3 Now you have assembled the unit please
ensure the collection box is fully in place
and locked in position. This will engage
the safety switch.
If the collection box is not locked in place
the unit WILL NOT OPERATE.
4 Now you are ready to use the unit please
check the cable is securely connected to
the unit.
Please remember max size of branches
is 40 mm.
The Cutter/Counter blade setting is pre
set at factory and should not need any
initial adjustment.
However, please ensure that the Cutter
blade / Counter blade gap setting is correct
at all times (0.5 to 1.0mm) – if not this may
result in the unit not functioning correctly.
If necessary adjustment can be made
via the adjusting button.
IMPORTANT!
Please do not over adjust the adjusting
button so the Counter blade meets the
cutter as this will damage the blade
(refer to user guide).
