Practical tips
Be sure to observe the safety instructions (see supplied booklet).
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
The material is drawn into the shredder automatically.
ATTENTION! Long pieces of material projecting out of the funnel inlet may whiplash when it
is drawn in – keep a safe distance between yourself and the machine.
Judge the quantity of material which you put into the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not
clog.
If you want to shred withered, damp material that has been lying in the garden for several
days, alternate between putting in this material and branches. This will help to prevent the
loading funnel becoming clogged with material.
Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) – put it straight in the compost box.
Entangled branches and leaves should be tho roughly shredded before loading any more
material.
Do not allow the discharge opening to become clogged with shredded material – risk of pile
ups.
Do not cover the ventilation slits.
Do not place heavy material or thick branches into the machine continuously. This may cause
the blade to jam.
Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed objects from the funnel or discharge openings.
Cleaning the ejector chute
Always wear heavy duty working gloves
Ensure that the switch is set to the “0” position
Disconnect the coupling on the machine connection cable (extension) from the machine
plug.
Unscrew the safety screw (Figure 1/Item 12) and then pull up the loading funnel (Figure 11).

16EN Operation | Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
Clean the cutting surfaces of the blades, the blade plate and the ejector chute with a brush or
paintbrush. Remove pieces of wood or other parts that may prevent the blade plate from
turning.
Close the loading funnel again and tighten the safety screw.
Safety
The shredder has a safety switch in its interior on the motor housing.
If the loading hopping is not perfectly position or if it is not pressed against the motor housing,
the SAFETY SWITCH will trip and prevent the motor from working. If this situation occurs, open the
loading funnel as described above. Carefully clean the interior. Close the loading funnel again as
described above and ensure that when you switch on the machine again the loading funnel is
correctly position and the safety screw is screwed right in.
8. REPLACING THE POWER CABLE
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
aftersales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.
9. CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND
ORDERING OF SPARE PARTS
