앬 The machine can be switched ON (switch posi-
tion “I”) and OFF (switch position “0”) using the
ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 11).
Note: The machine cannot be switched on if there is
no voltage being supplied to it. If the power supply is
interrupted, the machine will switch off automatically
(switch position “0”). The machine cannot be
switched on again until the voltage supply has been
re-established and the ON/OFF switch has been
moved to position “I”.
6.2 Overload protection (motor circuit-breaker)
The motor is protected from overloads by an over-
load switch.
During operation the control pin projects out of the
overload switch housing by around 4 mm. If the
motor is overloaded for a lengthy period, the overload
switch (Fig. 3/Item 10) will trip and switch off the
machine. In this case the pin on the overload switch
will project out of the housing by around 8 mm and
the ON/OFF switch will automatically move to “0”.
After waiting for at least 1 minute the control pin in
the overload switch can be pressed and the ON/OFF
switch then switched on again (switch position “I”).
If the motor fails to start, clean the ejector chute.
6.3 Cleaning the ejector chute
앬 Always wear heavy duty working gloves
앬 Ensure that the switch is set to the “0” position
앬 Disconnect the coupling on the machine connec-
tion cable (extension) from the machine plug .
앬 Unscrew the safety screw (Figure 1/Item 12) and
then pull up the loading funnel (Figure 11).
앬 Clean the cutting surfaces of the blades, the
blade plate and the ejector chute with a brush or
paintbrush. Remove pieces of wood or other
parts that may prevent the blade plate from tur-
ning.
앬 Close the loading funnel again and tighten the
safety screw.
6.4 Safety
The shredder has a safety switch (Figure 12/Item A)
in its interior on the motor housing. The control unit
for it (Figure 13/Item D) is located on the loading fun-
nel.
If the loading hopping is not perfectly position or if it
is not pressed against the motor housing, the
SAFETY
SWITCH
will trip and prevent the motor from working. If
this situation occurs, open the loading funnel as
described above. Carefully clean the interior. Close
the loading funnel again as described above and
ensure that when you switch on the machine again
the loading funnel is correctly position and the safety
screw is screwed right in.
CAUTION! NEVER undo the release screw (Figure
1/Item 12) without first switching off the machine at
the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1/Item 11) and discon-
necting the coupling on the machine connection
cable (extension) from the machine plug.
7. Notes on working practice
앬 Wear work gloves, goggles and ear muffs.
앬 Material placed in the loading funnel is automati-
cally drawn into the shredder.
CAUTION! Long pieces of material projecting out
of the machine may whiplash when it is drawn in
– keep a safe distance from the machine.
앬 Judge the quantity of material which you put into
the loading funnel so that it does not clog.
앬 If you want to shred withered, damp material that
has been lying in the garden for several days,
alternate between putting in this material and
branches. This will help to prevent the loading
funnel becoming clogged with material.
앬 Do not shred extremely soft waste (e.g. kitchen
waste) – put it straight in the compost box.
앬 Entangled branches and leaves should be
thoroughly shredded before loading any more
material.
앬 Do not allow the ejector outlet of the funnel to
become clogged with shredded material – since
this may result in material pile-ups.
앬 Do not cover the vent slots.
8. Replace, sharp and change blades
The blades on the blade plate are replaceable. If you
have to replace any blade, you must only use gen-
uine blades to ensure that they meet the relevant
quality and safety criteria.
Please note: For safety reasons we recommend that
you have all sharpening and blade replacement work
carried out by a specialist workshop.
Always wear heavy duty working gloves
Remove the blade screws (Fig. 12/Item C) to replace
the blades (Fig. 12/Item B). The blades can now be
turned or replaced with new blades. Assemble in
reverse order.
