This electric garden shredder is designed only for
shredding organic garden waste. Place biologi-cally
degradable material, e.g. leaves, branches, dead flo-
wers etc., into the loading funnel inlet.
Collecting the shredded material
A container can be placed underneath the ejector
opening to catch the shredded material.
6. Before starting up
6.1 Assembly (Fig. 2)
앬Take all the parts out of the packaging.
앬Fit the chassis to the housing using the two lock
nuts (item 2). Use the assembly tool provided for
this purpose.
앬Fit the axle (item 3) to the chassis using the two
M6 x 50 screws (item 4) and nuts (item 2). Use the
assembly tool provided for this purpose.
앬Push the wheels (item 5) on to the axle.
앬Secure the wheel cover (item 6) on the axle using
a hammer.
7. Starting up
7.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1 / item 3)
앬Press the green knob to switch on the shredder.
앬Press the red knob to switch it off.
Important: The machine has a zero voltage switch.
This prevents the machine restarting unintentionally
after a power failure.
7.2 Switch for selecting the direction of rotation
(Fig. 1 / Item 4)
Important! The switch for selecting the direction
of rotation can only be moved when the shredder
is switched off.
Position “1”
The material is automatically drawn in by the blade
and shredded.
Position “0”
The blade rotates in the opposite direction to release
jammed material. After moving the selector switch to
the “0” position, press and hold the green knob of the
ON/OFF switch. The blade will start to rotate in the
opposite direction. As soon as you release the
ON/OFF switch, the shredder will stop automatically.
Important! Always wait until the shredder has
reached a standstill before you switch it on again.
Large items or pieces of wood will be discharged
both in the cutting and in the release direction after
the blade has been started and reversed several
times.

GB
7.3 Motor protection (Fig. 1 / Item 2)
An overload (for example if the blade is jammed) will
cause the machine to cut out after a few seconds. To
protect the motor from damage the motor protection
switch stops the power supply automatically. Wait for
at least one minute before you press the reset knob
so that you can restart the machine.
Then press the ON/OFF switch.
If the blade becomes jammed, turn the switch for
selecting the direction of rotation to the left to position
“1” before you switch on the shredder again.
7.4 Practical tips
앬Read the special and general safety instructions
(section 1).
앬Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
앬Place the material you wish to shred into the
opening on the right-hand side (the blade rotates
anti-clockwise).
앬The material is drawn into the shredder automatic-
ally. CAUTION! Long pieces of material projecting
out of the funnel inlet may spring back when it is
drawn in – keep a safe distance between yourself
and the machine.
앬Judge the quantity of material which you put into
the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not clog.
앬If 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.
앬Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) – put
it straight in the compost box.
앬Entangled branches and leaves should be
thoroughly shredded before loading any more
material.
앬Do not allow the discharge opening to become
clogged with shredded material.
앬Do not cover the ventilation slits.
앬Do not place heavy material or thick branches into
the machine continuously. This may cause the
blade to jam.
앬Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed objects
from the funnel or discharge openings.
Important: The material will be crushed, mashed
and shredded by the cutting unit, thus accelerating
the decomposition process for composting.
7.5 Adjusting the cutter blade (Fig. 3)
The cutter blade and cutting unit are perfectly adjus-
ted at the factory. Only if it suffers wear does the cut-
ter blade require adjustment (switch the machine on
for this purpose). To ensure the best possible results
from your shredder, the gap between the cutter blade
(item B) and the shredding blade (item A) should be
approx. 0.50 mm.
There is an adjustment device on the right-hand side
of the plastic housing for this purpose. Turn the knob
clockwise so that the screw (item C) moves towards
the shredding blade. After a half-turn the counter
blade will have moved 0.50 mm closer to the shred-
ding blade. After completing this adjustment check
whether the blade produces the desired results.
IMPORTANT: If the shredding blade is touching the
cutter blade, it may cause damage. So if metal frage-
ments fall out of the discharge opening then you
must check the cutter blade adjustment.
8. Troubleshooting
Motor does not run
앬The motor protection switch has tripped. Move the
switch for selecting the direction of rotation to
position “0” and press the reset knob. Press and
hold the ON/OFF switch to switch on the shredder
after a brief delay. Once the blockage has been
cleared, return the switch for selecting the
direction of rotation to position “1”.
앬Power failure
Check the mains lead, plug and fuse.
Material is not drawn in by the shredder
앬The shredding blade rotates backwards
Check the direction of rotation
앬Material blockage in the funnel
Move the switch for selecting the direction of
rotation to position “0” and switch on the shredder.
Pull the material out of the funnel. Feed in thick
branches again so that the blade does not
immediately engage again in the notches it
previously cut.
앬The shredding blade is jammed
Move the switch for selecting the direction of
rotation to position “0” and switch on the shredder.
The blade will now rotate in the opposite direction
and release the jammed material.
Important! Do not change the direction of rotation
until the shredder has reached a complete stand-
still.

9. Care and maintenance
Caution! Interrupt the power supply by pulling the
plug out of the socket-outlet before you carry out any
checks or maintenance work on the machine.
앬Clean the machine regularly. This will help to keep
the machine in good working order and is the
basis for a long working life.
앬Keep the vent slots clean while you work.
앬Clean the plastic body and other plastic parts with
a mild household cleaning agent and a damp
cloth. Do not use any aggressive agents or
solvents for cleaning purposes.
앬Never clean the shredder by spraying with water.
앬Prevent water getting inside the machine at all
cost.
앬Check the chassis securing screws from time to
time to ensure that they are tight.
앬If you do not intend to use the shredder for a
lengthy period, protect it from corrosion using
environmentally friendly oil.
