The sound value(s) have been determined according to noise test code given in EN 50434, using the basic standards EN ISO 11094 and EN ISO 3744.
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 80 dB(A) and ear protection measures are necessary.
The noise figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of work- 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.

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.
