WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all the instructions listed
in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool
or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause a loss of control.
2) Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord awayfrom heat, oil, sharp edgesor moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
an electrician or a power tool repairer.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Have your tool repaired by an electrician or a power tool repairer. This power tool
complies with relevant safety requirements. To avoid danger, electrical appliances
this may result in considerable damage to the user.
3)Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

that have the switch may cause an accident.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
4)Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions of the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from intended use could lead to a hazardous

OPERATION (Cont.)
Safety Switch (Remove To Lock Fig. 7)
As a safety precaution, the safety switch may be removed when you are not
using the shredder to prevent children from starting it accidently (See Fig. 7). The
shredder cannot be started when the safety switch is removed.
Blades
The blades on the rotary plate are reversible. For quality and safety reasons, we
recommend that only identical replacement blades be used should it become
necessary to replace them.
Shredding Material
WARNING! Before starting, ensure that the feed inlet is empty.
WARNING! Always wear ear and eye protection and wear gloves during
operation.
CAUTION! Longer material standing out from the shredder could lash out when
being pulled in by the blades. Keep a safe distance.
CAUTION! When using the garden shredder and feeding branches into the
shredder, sometimes the blades pull the material into the opening. Keep hands at a
safe distance.
CAUTION! The ventilation slots must not be covered.
1. Only insert as much material as to prevent blockage of the feeding funnel. Chop
garden waste that has been stored for a few days and is wilted and damp
alternately with dry branches. This prevents the cutting blades from blocking up.
Widely branched material with leaves must be completely chopped before new
material is fed. Make sure that the chopped material can fall freely from the
ejection slot.
2. Keep hold of branches while feeding them into the garden shredder until they are
automatically drawn in.
3. Keep to the working speed of the garden shredder and do not overload it.
4. To protect the garden shredder from clogging, shred wilted garden waste that has
been left for a few days and shred thin twigs alternately with branches.
5. Before you shred roots, remove any remaining soil and stones from them.
6. Do not shred soft, damp material such as kitchen waste, take it straight to the
compost.
7. Keep a few dry branches for the end, as they will help clean the garden shredder.
8. Only switch the garden shredder off after all of the shredding material has passed
through the discharge chutes. Otherwise, the discharge chutes may jam the next
time the shredder is turned on.
