Before inspecting or servicing any part of the appliance, switch off, pull the plug from the mains and make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop.

1.  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 in- feed chute, these could damage the blades.

2.  Always place the machine on firm level ground. During operation, do not tilt or move.

3.  Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before feeding the material into the in-feed chute.

4.  Use the machine to shred the following materials only: Twigs and branches (Max. diameter 40mm) Waste from pruning bushes Waste from trimming hedges Plant material and other garden waste
   Leaves and plant roots (remove soil from roots before shredding)

5.  Do not fill soft waste such as kitchen rubbish into the shredder, but compost them.

6.  Feed the material to be shredded into the corner of the in-feed chute, if it is not too bulky, the material will be drawn in by the blades.

7. Only insert as much material so that the in-feed chute will not be blocked up.

8.  Warning: Long material extending out from the machine could lash out when being drawn in by the blades. Please keep at safe distance.

9.  Ensure the shredded material can fall freely from the discharge chute.

10. To make finer compost the shredded material can be shredded for a second time.

11. 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 in-feed chute.

12.  Organic material contains a large amount of water and sap that can stick to the shredder. 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.

13.  If during cutting the blade stalls, stop the shredder immediately and disconnect it from the mains supply before investigating the cause.

14.  Remove any jammed debris from the blades and examine them for any damage before re-commencing shredding.

15.  If the blade has stalled for more than 5 seconds the safety overload switch will operate and switch the machine off. Allow the machine to cool down for at least 1 minute before re-starting. Push the overload switch first and then push on the On/Off switch to re-start the machine.

16. If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or if the appliance should start making any unusual noise or vibration, immediately switch off and allow the cutting means to stop. Pull the plug from the mains supply and take the following steps: · Inspect for damage. · Replace or repair any damage parts. · Check for and tighten any loose parts.

17. If the appliance becomes clogged, switch off and allow the cutting means to stop. Pull the plug from the mains supply before cleaning debris.

18. Keep the motor cooling vents clean of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the motor or possible fire.

19.  Switch off, allow the cutting means to stop and pull the plug from the mains supply whenever you leave the work area.

20. Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback of material through the feed intake opening.

  Warning: The shredder will stop within 5 seconds after switching off.

Using the Plunger
There are a plunger provided to aid feeding less bulky material such as small twigs, leaves, other garden waste and vegetation into the in-feed chute.

1. Load the material into the hopper.
2. Insert the plunger into the in-feed chute pushing the material onto the blade disc.
3. Wait until all the material has been shredder before adding more material.

NOTE : Your fingers must never enter the in-feed chute. Never use the tool if the hopper is not fitted. Do not over reach.

How do I collect the shredded material?
Shut-off the power unit before attaching or removing the bag. You can use either the collection bag supplied (if supplied) or place the shredder on a tarpaulin sheet to catch the shredded material. When using the collection bag, you need to fit the collection bag hooks onto the sides of the discharge chute Warning: The ventilation slots on the machine body must never be covered by the collection bag or shredded material.

How do I replace the blades?

1. Ensure that the shredder is switched off and disconnected from the mains supply.
2. Remove the top feed assembly by unscrewing the reamer knob securing it to the body of the machine.
3. The blades have two cutting edges. When the blades become worn they can be reversed to use the second cutting edge.
4. It is recommended that work gloves be used when replacing the blades.
5. Lock the blade disc using hex spanner. Unscrew the two inner hexagonal headed screws and note the position of the cutting angle of the blade.
6. Remove the blade and rotate it through 180 degrees and fit the blade to the blade disc ensuring that the ground cutting edge is facing downwards.
7. Repeat this for the other blade.

When both cutting edges of the blade have become worn they must be replaced as a pair. The blades can be re-sharpened, but this must be done by an experienced person using an oil stone. We do not recommend this be done as the weight of each blade is critical to maintain the balance of the cutting disc. Any imbalance could cause damage to the machine and possible injury to the operator.
