6.5 Motor protection (Fig. 13 / Item D)
An overload (for example if the blade is jammed) will
cause the machine to cut out after a few seconds. To
protect the motor from damage the motor protection
switch stops the power supply automatically. Wait for
at least one minute before you press the reset knob
so that you can restart the machine.
Then press the ON/OFF switch.
If the blade becomes jammed, turn the switch for
selecting the direction of rotation to the left to
position "⇑" before you switch on the shredder again.

6.6 Practical tips

Be sure to observe the safety instructions (see
supplied booklet).
Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
Place the material you wish to shred into the
opening on the right-hand side (the blade rotates
anticlockwise).
The material is drawn into the shredder
automatically. CAUTION! Long pieces of
material projecting out of the funnel inlet may
whiplash when it is drawn in – keep a safe
distance between yourself and the machine.
Judge the quantity of material which you put into
the funnel inlet so that the funnel does not clog.
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.
Do not shred soft waste (e.g. kitchen waste) –
put it straight in the compost box.
Entangled branches and leaves should be tho
roughly shredded before loading any more
materi-
al.
Do not allow the discharge opening to become
clogged with shredded material – risk of pile-ups.
Do not cover the ventilation slits.
Do not place heavy material or thick branches
into the machine continuously. This may cause
the blade to jam.
Use a plunger or hook to remove jammed
objects from the funnel or discharge openings.
Important: The material will be crushed, mashed
and shredded by the cutting unit, thus accelerating
the decomposition process for composting.

6.7. Emptying the shredded material debris box
The level of material in the shredded material debris
box can be checked by looking through the slots on
the side of the cover.
Always empty the shredded material debris box in
good time to prevent it from overfilling.
To empty it, proceed as follows:
Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.
Release the shredded material debris box. To do
so, press the safety switch (Fig. 12/Item A)
down.
Take the shredded material debris box out at the
front.
6.8 Adjusting the counter blade (Fig. 14)
The counter blade and cutting unit are perfectly
adjusted at the factory. Only if it suffers wear does
the counter blade require adjustment (switch the
machine on for this purpose). To ensure the best
possible results from your shredder, the gap between
the counter blade (item B) and the shredding blade
(item A) should be approx. 0.50 mm.
There is an adjustment device on the right-hand side
of the plastic housing for this purpose. Turn the knob
clockwise so that the screw (item C) moves towards
the shredding blade. After a half-turn the counter
blade will have moved 0.50 mm closer to the
shredding blade. After completing this adjustment
check whether the blade produces the desired
results.
IMPORTANT: If the shredding blade touches the
counter blade, it will cut it and small metal chips may
fall out of the discharge opening. This is not a fault,
but it must only be adjusted as much as necessary
since otherwise the counter blade will suffer
premature wear.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
