Proper usage
This shredder has been designed for cutting fibrous and woody garden waste for the purpose of
compositing.

Always use the correct supply voltage
The power supply voltage must match the information quoted on your shredder's identification
plate. Shredders with a rating of 230 V can only be connected to a 230 V mains supply.
The shredder shall be supplied via a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not
more than 30mA
An extension cable with a cross section that is too small causes a distinct reduction in the
performance capabilities of the machine. For cables up to 25 m in length, a cross section of at
least 3 x 1.5 mm2is required; for cables more than 25 m in length, the cross section must be at
least 2.5 mm2.
Training
Become familiar with the manufacturer's manual before attempting to operate this equipment.
Controls
On/off switch
Press the green button to switch on the shredder.
Press the red button to switch it off.
Note: This machine is equipped with an electromagnetic switch to prevent it from being
unexpectedly switched on when power source recovered.
Reversing switch
Caution! The reversing switch can only be operated when the shredder is switched off.
Position A (Fig. 1.A)
The reversing switch has been set to position A. The chopping knife will pull in the material and
chop it. The switch is set to position A after the manufacturer's test.
Position B (Fig. 1.B)
When the chopping knife is jammed so that the motor cannot keep running, first press the red
button of the on/off switch to stop the motor. Then completely turn the reversing switch to left
position B and press the on/off switch (the green button). Keep the green button of the on/off
switch pressed, the chopping knife will rotate into the reverse direction and release the material
to enable you to remove it. When you release the on/off switch the shredder will stop
automatically.
Overload protection
Overload (e.g. blocking up of the chopping knife) will lead to a standstill of the machine after a
few seconds. To protect the motor from getting damaged, the overload switch will automatically
cut off the mains supply.
Wait at least 1 minute before restarting by first pressing the reset button and then the on/off
switch.
If the chopping knife is blocked turn the reversing switch to left position B before switching on the
shredder again.
Disassembling
For certain purposes, e.g. storage after use, etc, you can disassemble the shredder in the
reverse order as described under "Assembling ".

Operation instructions
Warning
1. Before starting the machine, look into the feeding chamber to make sure that it is empty.
2. Keep your face and body away from the feed intake opening.
3. Do not allow your hands or any other part of your body or your clothing to get inside the
feeding chamber, discharge chute, or near any moving part.
4. 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.
5. Always keep the discharge zone clear when operating this machine;
6. When feeding material into the machine be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, tins or other foreign objects are not included.
7. If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects, or if the machine should start making
any unusual noise or vibration, shut off the motor and allow the machine to stop. Unplug
the connection cable (to disconnect the electric unit from the power supply) and take the
following steps:
a) inspect for damage;
b) check for and tighten any loose parts;
c) have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent
specifications.
8. Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper
discharge and can result in kickback of material through the feed intake opening.
9. If the machine becomes clogged, shut off the motor and unplug the connection cable (to
disconnect the electric unit from the power supply) before clearing any debris. Keep the
motor (ventilation slots) clear of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the
motor or possible fire.
10. Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition.
11. Do not transport this machine while the motor is running.
12. Shut off the motor and unplug the connection cable (to disconnect the electric unit from the
power supply) whenever you leave the work area.
13. Do not tilt the machine while the motor is running.
14. When using the device the collection box must be securely in position and the safety switch
is locked.
Feeding
Feed the material to be chopped into the right side of the feeding tunnel. The material is
automatically pulled in by the chopping knife.
Caution! Longer material standing out from the machine could lash out when being pulled
in by the chopping knife! Keep a safety distance!
Warning! Always use the pusher (Fig.11) if you try to push the material into the feeding
tunnel. Do not use your hands directly! Keep the pusher well after use.
Only insert as much material as will not block up the feeding tunnel.
Chop garden waste that has been stored for some days and is wilted and damp alternately with
branches.
This will prevent the chopping knife from getting blocked up.
Do not fill into the shredder any soft material such as kitchen waste instead of compositing it.
Widely branched material with leaves must be completely chopped before any new material is
fed in.
Take care that the chopped material can freely fall from the discharge chute – danger of backing
up!
The ventilation slots must not be covered by the waste bag or the chopped material.

Emptying the collection box
The level of shredded material debris in the collection box can be checked by looking through
the notches on the upper face of the base frame. Always empty the collection box in good time
to prevent it from overfilling.
To empty it, proceed as follows:
a) Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.
b) Press the safety switch down.
c) Release the collection box.
d) Take the collection box out at the front.
Adjusting the counter knife (Fig.13)
Counter knife B can be set from 0 to 0.75 mm away from chopping knife A. This distance should
be kept to achieve effective operation.
Soft materials or wet woody branches may be wrapped around the chopping knife or not cut off
clean, while a worn counter knife may cause the same problem after several operations.
There is an adjusting device on the right side of the lower shell. To adjust the distance, turn
handwheel C clockwise. Half a turn will move the counter knife 0.75 mm closer to the chopping
knife.
After adjusting, make some cutting tests to check if the best effect is achieved. Ensure that the
chopping knife is in contact with the counter knife, especially when shredding soft materials or
wet, woody branches. When you use strong and dry materials the counter knife should have a
corresponding distance to the chopping knife to avoid any damage to the shredder.
Positioning and moving
The machine should be placed on smooth and even ground. Caution! Do not move the machine
before you have disconnected it from the mains supply.
Tips
1. Heavy material or branches result in blocking of the chopping knife when being shredded
continuously.
2. Always feed the material to be chopped from the right corner of the feeding funnel.
3. Carefully check the material to be chopped. Make sure there is no contact with stones or
nails as these could seriously damage the shredder.
4. Check for signs of vibration. Heavy vibration is caused by damaged or worn-out knives.
Change the knives, if necessary.
5. Large objects or woody pieces can be removed by withdrawing the material and, at the
same time, changing between the cutting and releasing directions of the chopping knife.
Caution! Always wait for the shredder to be idle before switching it on again.
Longer material standing out from the shredder could lash out when being pulled in
by the chopping knife. Please keep a safe distance!

Troubleshooting
The motor does not run
The overload protection has responded
Set the reversing switch to position B and press the reset button, keep the on/off switch
pressed to switch on the shredder for a short period. After the blocking has been removed,
reset the reversing switch to position A.
Power failure
Check the power supply cord, the plug and your house connection fuse and RCD.
Safety switch on the collection box not locked in position
Ensure collection box is in position and locked.
The material to be chopped is not pulled in
The chopping knife is running backwards.
Change the direction of rotation.
The material is jammed in the feeding funnel
Set the reversing switch to position B and switch on the shredder. Pull the material from the
feeding funnel.
Re-feed thick branches such that the chopping knife does not immediately grasp the pre-
cut notches again.
The cutting blade is blocked
Set the reversing switch to position B and switch on the shredder The chopping knife will
now run backwards to release the blocked-up material.
Caution! Change the direction of rotation to the desired position after the shredder has
come to a complete standstill.
Maintenance and Storage
Take care of your machine and clean it regularly to obtain long-lasting efficiency and
performance.
