Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Do not switch the appliance off before it is completely
empty, as it may clog and be difficult to restart.
Remove soil and stones from plant roots before shredding.
Firmly hold branches when feeding them into the shredder.
Switching on and off (fig. C)
Switching on
Set the direction selector (2) to left position.
Press the I button of the on/off switch.
Switching off
Press the O button of the on/off switch.
Warning! Do not operate the direction selector/switches in
sequence using abrupt motions. Sudden switching may
generate current spikes potentially damaging the shredder.
Clearing a blockage (fig. C)
If the appliance becomes jammed by branches which are too
thick or hard, or foreign bodies, the shredder will most of the
time release itself automatically. The rotating direction will
automatically reverse thereby releasing the material back
through the top. To return the rotation back to normal, proceed
as follows:
Switch off and wait until the cutting blade has stopped
completely.
Switch on again with and the appliance will be back to
forward rotation.
When the material is jammed:
Switch the appliance off.
Set the direction selector (2) to the right position.
Press the I button until the blockage is removed.
Warning! Branches may be ejected from the inlet funnel when
the appliance is running in reverse.
If the blockage has not cleared:
Switch off and unplug the appliance.
Use a piece of wood to loosen the debris within the cutting
chamber.
Replace the plug in the mains socket and operate the
appliance as described above to remove any debris.
Warning! Always switch off and unplug the appliance when
removing a blockage. Do not attempt to remove blockages by
hand through the inlet funnel or outlet opening. Keep your
hands clear of the cutting chamber.
Hints for optimum use
Shred dry materials last, as this will help to clear moist
material from the shredder.
Do not allow material to pile up and compost prior to
shredding.
You may feed shreddings into the shredder for a second
time to further reduce their volume.
Refer to the chart at the end of this text.
Maintenance
Your Black & Decker appliance has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
appliance care and regular cleaning.
Keep the unit clean and dry.
Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your appliance
using a soft brush or dry cloth.
Adjusting the cutter plate
The cutter plate needs to be adjusted if the appliance fails to
shred material.
Turn the adjustment knob (7) clockwise half a turn into the
cutting position to cut through light material completely.
Turn the adjustment knob counter-clockwise half a turn
into the crushing position to shred heavy materials.
The materials may need to be put through the appliance
twice to crush the material before cutting it completely.
Make sure the cutting blade does not touch the anvil blade
to avoid damage to the appliance.
When the shredded material starts to hang like a chain as
shown in fig. D, adjust as follows:
Switch the appliance on.
Turn very slowly and slightly the adjustment knob (7)
clockwise until you hear a light grinding sound or a small
amount of aluminium shavings will fall out of the discharge
chute. The shredded material will now be separated as
shown in fig. E.
Warning! Ensure the appliance is switched on and working in
normal forward direction. Adjusting the cutter plate while the
appliance is switched off can lead to serious damage of the
appliance.
