Use as intended
This shredder is designed for composting cutting of fibrous
and woody garden waste.
Collection of shredded material
Use a receptacle located under the ejection slot for the
ground material.
Always use the correct supply voltage
The power supply voltage must match the information quoted
on the tool identification plate.
The circuit must be protected by a fuse with at least 10 A.
Warning!
For your safety you must use an isolating transformer
or an R.C.D. device between the power supply and
the extension cable.
An extension cable with a cross section that is too small caus-
es 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.
Operation
On/off switch
•Press the green button to switch the shredder on.
•Press the red button to switch off.
Note: The machine is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent it from being switched on again accidentally
after a power failure.
Rotational direction switch.
Important!
The yellow rotational direction switch must only be
operated when the shredder is switched off.
When the switch is depressed toward position “|”
Position “|”
The cutting blade pulls in the material and chops it.
When the switch is depressed toward position “|”
Position “0’’
The cutting blade is operating in reverse direction and
jammed material is released.
Keep the green button of the On/Off switch pressed after set-
ting the rotational direction switch on position “0’’, the cutting
blade will turn in reverse direction. Release the On/Off switch
the shredder will stop automatically. If set between “|” and “0”
the motor will not run.
Tips
•Large objects or woody pieces will be removed after several
operations in both cutting and releasing directions.
•Use a pusher or clearing hook to remove blocked objects
from the feeding funnel and ejection slot.
Caution! Always wait for the shredder to be idle before switch-
ing it on again.
Longer material standing out from the shredder could lash out
when being pulled in by the cutting blade. Please keep at safe
distance!
Overload protection
Overload (e.g. blocking up of the cutting blade) leads to a
standstill of the machine after a few seconds. To protect the
motor from being damaged, the overload switch will cut the
mains automatically.
Wait at least 1 minute before restarting by first pressing the
reset button and then the on/off switch.
In case of blocking cutting blade turn the rotational direction
switch to the left position “1” before switching the shredder on
again.

Warning!
To protect the Rotary Blade from damage during
transit, this blade is positioned away from the
Cutting Plate.This must be set correctly before
any material is processed. Refer to page 6 for
setting.

Warning!
To protect the Rotary Blade ‘B’ from damage during
transit, this blade is positioned away from the
Cutting Plate ‘A’.This must be set correctly before
any material is processed. Refer to page 6 for
setting.
Operating instructions
Feed the material to be chopped into the right side of the
feeding funnel (anti-clockwise rotation of the cutting blade).
The material is pulled in by the cutting blade automatically.
Warning!
Longer material standing out from the machine could
lash out when being pulled in by the blade! Maintain
safety distance!
Only insert as much material so as to prevent blockage of the
feeding funnel.
To shred garden waste that has been stored for some days
and is wilted and damp feed it in with dry branches.
This prevents the cutting blade from blocking up.
Do not fill soft waste such as kitchen rubbish into the shredder
but compost them.
Widely branched material with leaves must be completely
chopped before new material is fed.
Take care that the chopped material can fall freely from the
ejection slot – danger of backing up!
The ventilation slots must not be covered by the waste bag or
the chopped material.
Adjusting the rotary blade.
Refer to Figure 5, below.
The rotary blade B is set from 0.50 to 1.00 mm from to the
cutting plate A. This distance should be maintained to achieve
effective operation.
There is an adjusting bolt accessible though the right side of
the plastic housing. To adjust the distance, insert the supplied
hex key, though the housing and turn the bolt C clockwise so
that it will move the cutting plate toward to the rotary blade.
Half a turn will advance the cutting plate 0.50 mm closer to
the rotary blade.
Warning!
Ensure that the plate A is not advanced too far or it
may strike the rotary blade and cause damage to the
shredder or even injury.
After adjusting, make cutting tests to check that the adjust-
ments have been effective.
Note: Soft material or wet woody branches can become
trapped around the blade. A worn rotary blade may cause the
same problem.

Tips
• Heavy material or branches result in blocking of the cut-
ting blade during continuous cutting.
• Soft materials, such as leaves or stems may block the
feeding opening. Feed the soft material using a pusher
• Always feed the material to be chopped from the right cor-
ner of the feeding funnel.
• Check the material to be chopped carefully. Make sure
there is no contact with stones or nails as these could dam-
age the shredder seriously.
• Check for signs of vibration. Heavy vibration is caused by
damaged or a worn blade. Change the blade if necessary.
Troubleshooting
The motor does not run
• The overload protection has responded
Set the rotational direction switch on position “0” and press
the reset button, keep the on/off switch pressed to switch on
the shredder for a short period. After the blockage has been
removed, reset the rotational direction switch to the position
“|”.
• Power failure
Check the power supply cord, the plug and the house fuse
The material to be chopped is not pulled in
• The cutting blade is running backwards.
Switch over the direction of rotation.
• The material is jammed in the feeding funnel
Set the rotational switch on position “0” and switch the
shredder on. Pull the material from the feed funnel.
Re-feed thick branches such that the blade does not imme-
diately grasp the pre-cut notches again.
• The cutting blade is blocked
Set the rotational switch on position “0” and switch the
shredder on. The cutting blade will now run backwards to
release the blocked up material.
Warning!
Change the direction of rotation to the desired posi-
tion after the shredder has come to a complete stand-
still.
Maintenance
• Take care of your machine and clean it regularly to obtain
long-lasting efficiency and performance.
• Keep the air vents clean and free from dust.
• Use only a warm damp cloth and a soft brush to clean your
machine.
• Never wet or spray water on the machine.
• Do not use detergents or solvents as these could cause
irreparable damage to your machine.
Chemicals can destroy the plastic parts.
• The tightness of the fastening screws of the undercarriage
should be checked from time to time.
• To protect the shredder from corrosion when storing for a
longer period, oil the cutting blade.
