S426 TURBO SHREDDER
WARNING - LIMITATIONS ON MATERIALS.
To properly control the speed of material entering the shredder chamber, the machine
relies on the large feed roller to grip the material. The feed roller can grip material down to 15mm in diameter.
The machine will not tolerate or process items such as tyres, mattresses, heavy duty plastic containers (used
for oils, chemicals, etc.), carpets, reinforced concrete, metallic items exceeding lightweight domestic door
furniture, commercial plastic gas pipe, alkathene water pipe, metal reinforced drainage/irrigation pipe, baler
twine, rope, metal banding, computer hard drives (which contain magnets) and any similar objects to the
above.
Ejection of material – Warning! The S426TDHB shredder ejects material at high speed. Ensure there is an
adequate safety zone and that ejected material is aimed away from operators into a safe area, i.e. an
enclosure or container with a back stop (i.e. wall) behind it to prevent ejected material from leaving the work
area and causing injury and damage. If loading into a truck or trailer, ensure the structure is strong enough to
cope with the impact from ejected material.
!!
The Timberwolf S426TDHBis a high speed, heavy duty professional shredder. It is designed to shred general
green waste (brash, prunings, hedge trimmings, Leylandii, Christmas trees, rootballs, etc.),brushwood up to

BASIC SHREDDING SAFETY
The operator should be aware of the following points:
MAINTAIN A SAFETY EXCLUSION ZONE around the shredder of at least 10 metres for the
general public or employees without adequate protection. Due to the nature of material being
shredded and the distance/velocity of discharge, the exclusion zone must be extended to 20
metres in front of the discharge tube exit. Use hazard tape to identify this working area and
keep it clear from debris build up. Shredded material should be ejected away from any area the
general public have access to.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - Some species of trees and bushes are poisonous. The shredding
action can produce vapour, spray and dust that can irritate the skin. This may lead to
respiratory problems or even cause serious poisoning. Check the material to be shredded
before you start. Avoid confined spaces and use a facemask if necessary.
BE AWARE when the shredder is processing material that is an awkward shape. The material
can move from side to side in the funnel with great force. If the material extends beyond the
funnel, the brash may push you to one side causing danger.
BE AWARE that the shredder can eject material out of the feed funnel with considerable force.
Always wear full head and face protection.
ALWAYS work on the side of the machine furthest from any local danger, e.g. not road side.
WARNING
The shredder will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on
the hammers to be free to swing. DO NOT put bricks, large stones, string,
carpet, tyres or metal into the shredder. !
!
OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Chainsaw safety helmet
fitted with mesh visor and
recommended ear defenders
to the appropriate

non-snag clothing.
Face mask if
appropriate.
DO NOT
wear rings, bracelets,
watches, jewellery or any
other items that could be

GENERAL SAFETY MATTERS
DO NOT use shredder unless available light is
sufficient to see clearly.
DO NOT use or attempt to start the shredder
without the feed funnel, belt guard, guards and
discharge unit securely in place.
DO NOT start the shredder running unless
properly guarded.
DO NOT stand directly in front of the feed funnel
when using the shredder. Stand to one side.
DO NOT allow -
DO NOT smoke when
refuelling. Petrol/diesel fuel is
explosive!
DO NOT let anyone who has
not received instruction operate the machine.
DO NOT climb on the machine at any time.
DO NOT handle material that is partially engaged
in the machine.
DO NOT touch any exposed wiring while
machine is running.
- to enter the machine, as damage is likely.
ALWAYS stop the shredder engine before
making any adjustments, refuelling or cleaning.
ALWAYS check machine has stopped rotating
and remove shredder ignition key before
maintenance of any kind, or whenever the
machine is to be left unattended.
ALWAYS check machine is well supported and
cannot move.
ALWAYS run with the engine set to maximum
speed.
ALWAYS check (visually) for fluid leaks.
ALWAYS take regular breaks. Wearing personal
protective equipment for long periods can be
tiring and hot.
ALWAYS keep hands, feet and clothing out of
feed opening, discharge and moving parts.
ALWAYS use the next piece of material or a push
stick to push in short pieces. Under no
circumstances should you reach into the funnel.
ALWAYS keep the operating area clear of people,
animals and children.
ALWAYS keep the operating area clear from
debris build up.
ALWAYS keep clear of the chip discharge tube.
Foreign objects may be ejected with great force.
ALWAYS ensure protective guarding is in place
before commencing work. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or loss of life.
ALWAYS use shredder in a well ventilated area -
exhaust fumes are dangerous.

Control Box Diagram
Roller control boxes- two control boxes are located on either side of the feed tray. Their function is
to control the feed roller that draw material into the machine. They do not control the main rotor.
RED SAFETY BAR = This is the large red bar that surrounds the feed tray and side of the feed funnel.
The bar is spring loaded and connected to a switch that will interrupt the power to the roller. The
switch is designed so that it only activates if the bar is pushed to the limit of its travel. The roller will
stop instantly, but can be made to turn again by pressing either the GREEN FEED or BLUE
REVERSE control buttons.
GREEN BUTTON = Forward feed - Push the button once - this activates the roller and will allow you
to start shredding (if the rotor speed is high enough).
BLUE BUTTON = Reverse feed - allows you to back material out of the roller. The roller will only turn
in reverse as long as you keep pressing the button.
See page 5 for more detailed information.
Do not rely on the red bar to keep the roller
stationary if it is necessary to clear or touch the
roller. Always switch off the machine and remove
ignition key before approaching the roller.
There are two control boxes, located on
either side of the feed tray.
