force include the characteristics of the work room, the other sources of
noise, etc. i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent processes, and the
length of time for which an operator is exposed to the noise. Also the
permissible exposure level can vary from country. This information, however,
will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard
and risk.

EN Functions & Settings
Intended use
This electric silent shredder MQS2800-3 / TTSHR2800 is designated with a rated
power input of 2800 Watts. This machine is designed for cutting of fibrous and
woody garden waste for composting. This machine is not intended for shredding
pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans, etc. or soft waste such as kitchen
rubbish. For safety reasons it is essential to read the entire instruction
manual before first operation and to observe all the instructions therein.
This machine is intended for private domestic use only, not for any commercial
trade use. It must not be used for any purposes other than those described.
Adjusting the blade clearance
Note: Always adjust the clearance between the cutting plate (4c) and cutting
blades (4b) before using the machine! For an effective operation, adjust the
blade clearance regularly.
The cutting plate (4c) is set from 0 to 0.5 mm closed to the cutting blades
(4b), and this distance should be kept to achieve effective operation. 1.
Switch the machine on. 2. Turn the adjustment knob (5) slowly in a clockwise
direction until a scraping noise is heard (metal plate
making contact with the cutter head). Fine aluminium shavings will fall from
the discharge chute (Fig. 6). 3. As soon as the scraping noise is heard,
rotate the adjustment knob (5) anticlockwise 1/4 of a turn.
Ensure that the metal plate is not making contact with the cutter head. 4.
Avoid unnecessary wear on the cutting plate by not over-adjusting. 5. After
adjusting, make shredding tests to check if the best effect is achieved.
Readjust if necessary.

automatically activate within 5 – 10 seconds and shut off the power supply.
The motor switches off. 2. When it happens, perform the following steps:
· Wait until the blades completely stop; · Wait at least one minute and then
press the reset button (18) (Fig. 7, step 1); · Set the forward/reverse switch
(14) to reverse mode “1t” (Fig. 7, step 2); · Hold down the ON switch “I” (15)
to switch the machine on. Carefully pull out the jammed material
from the feeding funnel (Fig. 7, step 3). When in reverse mode, the ON switch
needs to held down. To stop the machine operating in reverse, release the ON
switch.

EN Operation
General operation
1. Check the machine, its power cord and plug as well as accessories for
damage before each use. Do not use the machine if it is damaged or shows wear.
Take care of any problem you find or have the machine checked by qualified
specialist.
2. Double check that the accessories and attachments are properly secured. 3.
Always push the machine by its transportation handle (1). Keep the
transportation handle (1) dry and
clean to ensure safe support. 4. Ensure that the air vents (13) are always
unobstructed and clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft
brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage the machine. 5.
Switch the machine off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other
people entering the
working area. Always let the machine come to complete stop before leaving it
unattended. 6. Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can
concentrate on the work and have full
control over the machine. 7. Inspect the material to be shredded before
starting. Remove any objects or debris that could be thrown,
jammed or become entangled in the blades. Remove any soil from root balls.
Foreign bodies like stones, glass, metals, fabrics or plastics must not enter
the feeding funnel, these could damage the blades. 8. Always place the machine
on firm, level ground. During operation, do not tilt or move the machine. 9.
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before feeding the material into
the feeding funnel. 10. Do not process soft waste such as kitchen rubbish into
the feeding funnel, but compost them. 11. Long material extending out from the
machine could lash out when being drawn in by the blades. Keep at safe
distance. 12. Only insert as much material so that the feeding funnel will not
be blocked up. 13. Keep hold of branches while feeding them into the machine
until they are automatically drawn in. 14. Soft materials (e. g. leaves,
stems) may block the opening of feeding funnel. Use plunger to push them onto
the cutting blades if necessary. 15. Always feed the material, especially the
branches, into the larger opening of the feeding funnel. 16. Keep to the
working speed of the machine and do not overload it. 17. Keep a few dry
branches for the end of the shredding task, as they will help clean the
machine. 18. Only switch the machine off when all of the shredding material
has passed through the discharge chute. Otherwise, the discharge chute may jam
the next time you switch the machine on. 19. Ensure the shredded material can
fall freely from the discharge chute. 20. To make finer compost the shredded
material can be shredded for a second time. 21. Do not allow the shredded
material to build up to a level where it blocks the discharge chute. If the
material builds up too far, it could reach the cutting blades and be thrown
out of the feeding funnel. 22. Organic material contains a large amount of
water and sap that can stick to the product. To avoid this, the material
should be left for a few days to dry out. Large branches however are best
shredded when they are fresh. 23. If the cutting blades stalls during
operation, stop the machine immediately and disconnect the machine from the
power supply before investigating the cause. 24. Remove any jammed debris from
the cutting blades and examine them for any damage before recommencing
shredding. 25. If the blades have stalled for more than 3 seconds, the
overload protection will activate. Refer to section “Overload protection”.
Emptying collection box
1. Always operate the machine with the collection box (12) attached. 2.
Inspect the collection box (12) each time before use. Do not use it if you
detect any damage. 3. Empty frequently during use. Do not wait until the
collection box (12) is completely full. We recommend
emptying it when it is half full.
21

WARNING! Do not wait until the collection box (12) is full to empty it!
Remember that the collection box (12) fills unevenly under the discharging
chute (6).
4. Switch the machine off and disconnect it from the power supply. 5. Fully
press down the interlock switch (12a) to position “OFF” (Fig. 9, step 1), hold
the recessed grip (12b)
and carefully pull the collection box (12) out of the frame (8) (Fig. 9, step
