• A moment of carelessness may cause losing control of your tool.
• If it is possible to fit power tools for dust extraction or collection, check that they are fitted and working correctly. Using such power tools reduces the risk posed by the presence of dust.
• Do not lean out too far when working with your power tool. Maintain a stable posture and balance. This allows you to keep better control of your power tool in unforeseen situations.
• Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the power tool to the mains. Carrying a power tool with your finger on its trigger or plugging in a power tool after switching it on can lead to accidents.
• Wear appropriate clothing. Do not work in loose clothing and do not wear jewellery while working. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. The moving parts of a power tool can catch and pull in loose pieces of clothing, jewellery or long hair.
• Remove any spanners or tools from the power tool before starting it. A tool or spanner still connected to the rotating part of the power tool may cause personal injury.
• Be careful when working with power tools, concentrate on your work and use common sense. Do not use a power tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Even a moment of carelessness while working with a power tool can lead to a serious accident.
• Keep children away from the work area and DO NOT allow children to pull on the power cord – this can cause serious injury.
• Before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tool, move the switch to the off position to disconnect the power tool from the power supply. Such precautions reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power tool.
• Ensure that the vents are free from debris.
• The device may only be used in a dry, well-lit environment.
• This tool should not be used by anyone under the age of 16.

Electrical safety

• Connect the device only to an electrical supply of characteristics in accordance with the information on the data plate.
• The power tool plugs must match the power sockets. Never alter the power cord plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and suitable electrical sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid touching grounded or shorted to ground surfaces such as piping, radiators, radiators and refrigerators. If parts that are grounded or shorted to ground are touched, the risk of electric shock increases.
• Do not expose electric devices to rain or humid conditions. If water enters the power tool, the risk of an electric shock increases.
• Do not tighten the connection cables. Never use the connection cable to carry, pull electrical equipment or pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the connection cable away from heat sources, oils, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled connection cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Before starting the work, check the power cord before starting the work. Do not operate if the power cord or extension cord is abraded, cut or otherwise damaged. If the power cord is damaged during use, switch off the device and unplug it from the socket.
• If the power tool is used outdoors, the connection cables should be extended with waterproof extension cords designed to operate outdoors. Using such an extension cord reduces the risk of an electric shock.The cross-section area of the extension cord conductors should be at least 1.5 mm2 when the length of the cable is less than 20 m, and if the length of the cable is between 20 and 50 m, the minimum cross-section is 2.5 mm2.
• A residual current protection device (RCD) must be used as protection against shock from the supply voltage. Using the RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. The equipment should be supplied through an RCD with a rated current not exceeding 30 mA.

Assembly of the machine

Turn the machine upside down. Insert the axle through the drilled holes in the foot.
Select the supports A and B, which are identified by the letter stamped on the support.

Install the wheel in the same order as shown in the figure.

MACHINE OPERATION

To start the shredder press the on/off switch to the position marked “I”, to turn off press “0”. Wait until the blades start to rotate at full speed before loading the material for shredding. Do not place the material in the loading tunnel when the machine is switched off or does not operate at full speed.

NOTE: The machine has an overload switch. The circuit breaker will be activated when the accumulated shredded material blocks the cutting discs , the load is too hard or thick and exceeds the motor capabilities, or there is too much resistance of the cutting blade . After removing the cause of the machine overload, press the reset button.

NOTE: Switch off the machine in the event that the blade hits a hard object or unusual noises or vibrations. Pull the plug out of the mains socket and do the following:

• inspect the blade and other components for damage;
• check for loose parts and tighten if necessary;
  If necessary, contact an authorised service centre.

Shredding instructions

The hardness of branches and logs for shredding depends on the genre, age and degree of humidity of the wood. The most efficient is shredding of fresh branches, soon after cutting. Soft garden waste should be shredded in smaller batches, especially when it is moist. To prevent such material from blocking, occasionally crush thicker branches or logs.
The branches protruding from the machine may hit the operator when being pulled in; therefore, keep a safe distance!
Insert only an amount of material that does not block the shredder.
Damp or residual garden waste should be shredded alternately with thicker branches. This prevents the blade from overloading.
Do not place compost-type soft waste in the shredder. This type of material should be composted as such.
Care must be taken to ensure that the shredded material can escape freely through the outlet opening There is a danger of blockage when too much material is loaded for shredding.
Empty the shredding hopper regularly. The hopper may not fill evenly.

Replacing the blade:

Before replacing the blades, make sure that the shredder is switched off and disconnected from the power supply. It is recommended to use protective gloves when changing blades.
Unscrew the cover fixing screw (8), the blade has two cutting edges. When the blades are worn out, they must be inverted to use a second cutting edge. Lock the blade disc using an Allen wrench.
Unscrew the two screws. Remove the blade and rotate it 180 degrees and attach the blade to the disc, making sure that the ground cutting edge is pointing downwards. Repeat for the second blade.

If the blade is worn on both sides, replace it with a new one or sharpen it.

1. After each use clean the entire device of plant residues and the lower cover of the collected compacted
2. Ventilation slots and motor housing should be kept free of dust and dirt, as much as possible. Wipe the device with a clean cloth, brush or purge with compressed
3. It is recommended to clean immediately after every
4. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents to clean the device; they may damage the plastic Take care not to allow water to enter the device.
