grounded while in use to reduce the risk of electric
shock to the operator. The tool is equipped with a 3-
conductor cord and 3-prong grounding plug to fit the
proper grounding receptacle. The green or green and
yellow wire to live terminal. If your unit is for use on
less than 150 volts, it has a plug as illustrated in
sketch A in Figure 1 on page 2. If it is for use on 150
to 250 volts, it has a plug as illustrated in sketch D,
Fig.1, Page 2.
An adapter, sketches B and C, is available for
connecting plugs as illustrated in sketch A to 2-prong
receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like, must be connected to permanent ground, such
as a properly grounded outlet box. No adapter is
available for the plug illustrated in sketch D.
3. EXTENSION CORD - Use only with an extension
cord intended for outdoor use. Match wire gauge to
the cord length. See table below. A 2-wire cord with-
out a ground connection may be used since this
appliance is double insulated. If in doubt of proper
wire size, use the next heavier gauge. Please note
that the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
4. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT - Do not use
appliance in damp or wet locations.
5. DON’T USE IN RAIN - Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
6. DO NOT ABUSE CORD - Never yank it to discon-
nect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk
of electric shock.

the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
11. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Do not move
plugged-in appliance with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
12. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected conditions.
13. NO ACCESSORIES OR ATTACHMENTS ARE
NECESSARY FOR THE OPERATION OF THIS

use only with an extension cord intended for out-
door use, such as an extension cord of cord type
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A, SJTOW-A.
Extension cords of the type specified above are
available at local hardware stores.Extension cord-
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheat-
ing. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. Number, the heav-
ier the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection of
appliance cord from the extension cord during oper-
ating: Make a knot as shown in Fig. 2;
17. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. The correct tools will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
18. DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENT,
CHANGING ACCESSORIES, OR STORING THE
TOOL. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19. STORE IDLE TOOLS INDOORS. When not in use,
tools should be stored indoors in dry, and high or
locked-up place, out of reach of children.
20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cord periodi-
cally, and if damaged, have it repaired by an author-
ized service facility. Keep handling surface dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
21. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other condition that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be prop-
erly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your Shredder has been designed for a low level of main-
tenance, involving routine cleaning and inspection. The
motor of the Shredder is maintenance free and requires
no attention. For the best results the blades must be kept
sharp at all times. The blades have dramatically less cut-
ting power when blunt.
The Shredder will tear rather than cut when the blades
are blunt. When this occurs rotate the double sided
blades or replace the blades immediately.
V-CUTTER MAINTENANCE
1. Switch the machine off and disconnect the power cord
ensuring all moving parts are completely stopped.
2. Wear gloves when attempting any maintenance to the
cutting blades.
JAMMING if blades become jammed rotate knob under
motor. If blades can not be worked loose refer to disas-
sembly instructions (Item 1) and then remove obstruction.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Loosen caging knobs and remove the top cover
assembly.
2. Rotate the cutter base anti clockwise and place a piece
of wood between the cutter base and cutting chamber
wall so as to stop the cutting base retating. (Fig. 11)
3. Remove the center hold down bolt by turning it anti
clockwise using a 17 mm spanner.
4. Remove the square washer, square bush, V-cutter to
expose cutter base.
SHREDDING BLADES MAINTENANCE
To inspect or renew the double sided shredding blades
there is no need to remove the cutter base. To remove
simply undo the counter sunk screws with the 6mm hex
wrench supplied with the machine and turn them through
180 These blades are double ground and can be used on
both sides. When blunt on both sides renew and ensure
they are screwed in tightly.
ASSEMBLY This is carried out in the reverse sequence to
that of disassembly but with careful inspection of all
components. Ensure that cutter base is assembled with
the scraping plates facing down towards the motor and
that the spring washer is situated under the head of the
centre hold down bolt. (Fig. 12)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ATTACHING MULCH BAG Place a heavy duty trash bag
using the mulch bag strap. (Fig. 6)
TOP HOPPER-FRONT CHUT The large sloping front
chute of the Top Hopper is designed to accept leaves
and small garden clippings. Shredding and mulching is
achieved by natural suction of the debris through the
blade chamber.
Do not overfeed and do not feed wet, soggy material into
the Shredder as this may clog the blade chamber and the
discharge chute. (Fig. 7)
TOPHOPPER-BLACK CHUTE The smaller back chute of
the top Hopper accepts medium to larger size garden
clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved through the same
action as the front chute. If a finer type mulch is required
than is initially achieved, re-feed the mulch through again
until the desired result is obtained. (Fig. 8).
Do not feed solid branches through the two Top Hopper
chutes.
SIDE CHUTE The elongated chute located at the rear of
the machine is specially designed to accept solid garden
clippings and branches up to 1-1/2" (38mm) in diameter.
IMPORTANT: When feeding long, large diameter materi-
al, control the rate of feed by pulling back on the material
so as not to stall or overload the motor. (Fig. 9)
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove all parts from the shipping carton.
2. Do not discard material until you have identified all the
parts using the parts list.
3. If all parts have been included proceed to assembly.
4. If you are missing a parts, contact the retailer you pur-
chased it form before attempting to assemble your
Shredder.
5. Examine all the parts to make sure no break age has
occurred during shipping. Any damaged part should be
replaced before attempting to use the Shredder.
Fig. 6
Do not under any cir-
cumstances, place
hands inside the geeding chutes while the
machine is operation. Force feeding of debris is
not necessary due to the natural suction action
of the shredder.

utilisation n’est pas recommandée car cela risque
d’augmenter les risques de blessures.
14. UTILISEZ LE MATÉRIEL ADÉQUAT. N’utilisez pas
de matériel dans des travaux pour lesquels il n’est
pas prévu.
15. UN INTERRUPTEUR AVEC PROTECTION DE
DÉFAUT DE MISE À LA MASSE (GFCI) DOIT ÊTRE
JOINT AU CIRCUIT (S) OU AUX PRISES DEVANT
ÊTRE UTILISÉS POUR LES MATÉRIELS DE
JARDINS. Des réceptacles avec protection GFCI
sont disponibles et doivent être utilisés pour cette
mesure de sécurité.
16. ATTENTION! Pour diminuer le risque d’électrocu-
tion, utilisez uniquement des rallonges destinées à
un usage en extérieur, telles que des rallonges ayant
un type de cordon SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A,
SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, SJTOW-A.
Les rallonges des types spécifiés ci-dessus sont
disponibles dans toutes les quincailleries.
Rallonges-Assurez vous que votre rallonge est en
bon état. Lorsque vous utilisez une rallonge, assurez
vous d’en utiliser une assez puissante pour support-
er le courant consommé par votre matériel. Une ral-
longe sous calibrée entraînera une baisse de tension
dans la ligne ce qui créera une perte de puissance et
une surchauffe. Le Tableau 1 montre la taille cor-
recte à utiliser en fonction de la longueur du cordon
et de l’ampérage stipulé sur la plaque de l’outil. En
cas de doute, utilisez le calibrage immédiatement au-
dessus, pour un cordon plus puissant. Pour diminuer
le risque que le cordon de l’appareil se débranche de
la rallonge en cours d’utilisation:
Faites un nœud ainsi qu’il est montré dans la Figure
2;
17. NE PAS FORCER L’APPAREIL: L’utiliser à la puis
sance conçue et il aura une meilleure performance
et les risques de blessure seront réduites.
18. DÉBRANCHER L’OUTIL AVANT DE L’AJUSTER,
CHANGER LES ACCESSOIRES OU LE REMISER.
Cela empêche de faire démarrer l’outil
accidentellement.
19. REMISER À L’INTÉRIEUR. Lorsqu’il n’est pas en
utilisation, remiser l’appareil dans un endroit sec,
inaccessible aux enfants.
20. ENTRETENIR L’APPAREIL SOIGNEUSEMENT:
Garder la partie tranchante propre et aiguisée pour
une performance optimale et un moindre risque de
blessures. Suivre les instructions de lubrification et
de changements de pièces. Contrôler le cordon d’al
imentation de votre défibreur périodiquement, et si
endommagé, le faire réparer par un service après
vente agréé. Vérifier les prolongateurs périodique
ment et les remplacer si endommagés. Garder les
poignées sèches, propres et exemptes de toute trace
d’huile ou graisse.
21. VÉRIFIER LES PIÈCES ENDOMMAGÉES: Avant
toute utilisation de l’outil, toute pièce endommagée
doit être soigneusement inspectée afin de détermin-
er si son fonctionnement est adéquat à sa fonction
prévue. Contrôler le montage, l’alignement et les fix-
ations des pièces mobiles, vérifier qu’il n’y a pas de
pièces cassées ou tout autre problème qui
affecteraient son fonctionnement. Toute pièce
endommagée devrait être réparée correctement ou
remplacée par un centre de service agréé sauf indi-
cation contraire dans ce manue.
