ATTENTION: Turn the shredder off before switching the forward / reverse rotation.

Forward position

• Standard operation of the shredder. The cutting roller rotates forwards.

Reverse position

• The cutting roller rotates in the opposite direction for the purpose of releasing  jammed material.
• To change to the reverse rotation direction it is necessary to intermittently press the button with the “I” symbol so that the roller rotates. The roller will stop automatically when the button is released.

NOTE: To shred large branches it may be necessary to repeat the forward and reverse procedure several times. Prior to changing the rotation direction again, always wait until the shredder comes to a complete stop.

Protection against overload

• The shredder is equipped with overload protection (Fig.7, point 4)
• In the event of an overload, the motor protection will automatically disconnect the electrical circuit.
• To renew functionality, proceed as follows:

1. Turn off the machine so that it is without voltage.
2. Remove the material that clogged the shredder.
3. Allow the motor to cool down for at least fi ve minutes!
4. Press the safety fuse button (Fig. 7, point 4).
5. Reconnect the electrical power supply.
6. Turn on the shredder.

ATTENTION: To prevent accidents, to remove jammed objects, always use a hook or a stick.

• Always turn the shredder off and disconnect it from the power supply before attaching or removing the collection box.
• For safety reasons, the handle of the collection box (Fig. 6, point 1) is equipped with a safety lock.
• For safe operation, check the working order of the safety lock after every two hours of work.
• Never attempt to put the safety lock of the handle out of operation

Handle of the collection box:
Handle in the lowered position >>> the collection box is not locked. The safety lock is activated, the shredder cannot be started.
Handle in the raised position >>> the collection box is locked and the shredder is ready for work.

NOTE: The machine will not start if the collection box is unlocked. The machine will automatically turn off when the collection box is released during operation.

SETTING UP AND WORKING WITH THE SHREDDER

Setting the counter-blade distance

• For effective operation, it is necessary to set the distance between the counter-blade (Fig. 8, point 2) and the cutting roller (Fig. 8, point 3). The gap between the cutting roller and the counter-blade should be as small as possible.
• A correct setting will enable the effective shredding of all branch diameters.

Setting the distance:

• Turn on the machine.
• To pull the counter-blade towards the cutting
  roller, slowly turn the setting screw (Fig. 8, point 1) clockwise. Keep turning the screw until fi ne aluminium fi llings start falling out of the ejection chute.

NOTE: Soft material or wet branches may be torn instead of being cut. This problem may also be caused by the counter-blade, which wears out after frequent use.

Before turning on

Make sure that:

Power cords are not damaged. If there are slits or cracks on a power cord, stop work and replace it immediately.
The machine is not damaged and all the screws are pulled tight.
The machine is completely and correctly assembled.

Check the power supply:

Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the rated voltage on the rating label and that the machine is properly grounded.
Only use extension cords that have wires with a suffi cient cross-section.

Material that the shredder can process

The shredder can process the following types of materials:

• All types of branches up to the maximum diameter specifi ed in the technical specifi cations.
• Garden waste such as wilted plants or wet grass (shred alternatively with branches).

The shredder MUST NOT process the following types of materials:

• Glass, metals, plastics, rocks, ceramics, branches thicker than specifi ed in the technical specifi cations, hard wood, thick wooden boards, fabrics, plastic bags, roots with soil.
• Wastes that are almost in liquid form, e.g. kitchen scraps.

OPERATION

• Place the material into the funnel from the right side.
• Shred branches immediately after they are cut. When they dry out, they may become very hard.
• Remove all lateral shoots from the branches if it is not possible to insert them into the shredder.
• Avoid too much shredded material from accumulating in the collection box. Regularly empty the box because accumulated shredded material may block the ejection chute.
• Do not insert material that is larger than the maximum branch diameter specified in the technical specifications.
• Shredding wet garden waste (fallen leaves) will result in clogging. To prevent clogging, alternate the waste with material containing wood.
• Soft materials or wet branches may be torn instead of being cut. This problem may also be caused by a worn out counter-blade.
• Before cleaning out the ejection chute, turn off the motor and disconnect the machine from the power supply.

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION:

• Prior to inspecting or performing maintenance on the machine, check that it is turned off and disconnected from the power supply. Be careful, the cutting roller will not stop immediately after the machine is turned off, wait for all the parts to stop moving.
• Put on protective gloves before inspection or carrying out maintenance.
• Never use petrol, thinners, alcohol, etc. for cleaning. This could result in discolouration, deformation or cracking.
• Only use a damp cloth and soft brush for cleaning the machine.
• Do not use a hose or wash the machine with pressurised water.

After every work session, carry out the following maintenance:

• Check that all fastening screws and bolts are tightened (tighten them if necessary).
• Lubricate metal components to protect against corrosion.
• Maintain holes clean and free of dust.
• The cutting roller and counter-blade wear out over time. If necessary, inform yourself about replacement at you nearest authorised service centre.
