Control panel (Fig. B)
• On switch (2): Pressing this button starts the
shredder.

al needs to be freed. This function is only available
when the shredder is in operation.

back to clockwise.

Working with the shredder
Alternating with branches, shred withered gar-
den waste and branches that have been stored
several days to prevent the shredder from be-
coming blocked.
• Make sure the collection box (8) is pushed into the
frame correctly and the locking device (9) is in the
upper position.
• Connect the shredder to the power supply.
• Turn the shredder on by using the on switch (3).
• Fill shredding material into the feed hopper and it
will be drawn in.
• Caution: If the material becomes jammed, first
press the red off switch (3) to stop the device. Push
the switch for roll rotation direction (11) downwards
to the " = " sign. Start the device by pressing the
green on switch (2). Stop the device by pressing
the red off switch (3). Remove the jammed material.
Push the switch (11) to the " - " sign. The device is
ready for operation.
• Make sure the shredder has completely shred-
ded the input material before adding new.

• Do not use your hands to push in more shredding
material. Use the special pushing device (c) or oth-
er shredding material.
• When you have finished working with the shredder,
turn it off and disconnect it from the mains.
Emptying the collection box
• Stop the shredder using the off button (3).
• Set the locking device (9) to the lowest position.
• Pull out the collection box (8) and empty it.
• Re-insert the collection box (8) and push the lock-
ing device (9) up again.
Setting the counter blade
The counter blade and the blade cylinder have
been ideally adjusted by the manufacturer.
Re-adjusting the counter blade is only required if
it becomes worn. For maximum performance, it
is necessary that the distance between the coun-
ter blade and blade cylinder is about 0.50 mm.
• Turn the shredder on.
• Turn the adjustment wheel (5) clockwise until you
can hear slight grinding sounds.
• When turning the adjustment wheel (5) clockwise
by half a turn, the blade cylinder is positioned clos-
er to the counter blade by 0.50 mm.
WARNING: If the shredder blade touches the
counter blade, it will be trimmed and small pieces
of swarf may fall out of the ejection opening. This
is not an error, but it has to be re-adjusted to the
required degree because otherwise the counter
blade will wear too early.
Overload protection
In the event of overload, e.g. due to branches that are
too thick, the equipment automatically switches off.
After a short cooling period (approximately 5 min-
utes), press the reset switch (12).
