Warning! Always use the pusher if you try to push the material into the
feeding tunnel. Do not use your hands directly! Keep the pusher well after
use.
Only insert as much material as will not block up the feeding tunnel.
Chop garden waste that has been stored for some days and is wilted and damp
alternately with branches.
This will prevent the chopping knife from getting blocked up.
Do not fill into the shredder any soft material such as kitchen waste instead of
compositing it.
Widely branched material with leaves must be completely chopped before any new
material is fed in.
Take care that the chopped material can freely fall from the discharge chute – danger of
backing up!
The ventilation slots must not be covered by the waste bag or the chopped material.
▪ After finishing the job, press the red button to switch the shredder OFF .
9.3 Emptying the collect box.
The level of shredded material debris in the collection box can be checked by looking through
the notches on the upper face of the base frame. Always empty the collection box in good time
to prevent it from overfilling.
To empty it, proceed as follows:
▪ Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.
▪ Press the safety switch down.
▪ Release the collect box.
▪ Take the collect box out at the front.
9.4 Adjusting the counter knife (Fig. 13)
For an effective operation, adjust the clearance between the counter blade and cutting roller.
Setting the clearance:
▪ Switch on the device.
▪ Turn the adjusting knob counterclockwise to increase the clearance.
▪ Turn the adjusting knob clockwise slowly to place the counter blade closer to the
cutting roller.
Warning! To avoid any damage to the shredder make sure that the cutting
blade does not come into contact with the anvil blade.
9.5 Shredding tips
▪ Heavy material or branches may result in blocking of the cutting blades during continuous
cutting.
▪ Soft materials, such as leaves or stems may block the feeding opening.
▪ Always feed the material to be chopped from the right corner of the feeding funnel.
▪ Check the material to be chopped carefully. Make sure there is no contact with stones or
nails as these could damage the shredder seriously.
