• 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 branch-
es. 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 com-
pletely 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.
6.5 Adjusting the cutting gear (Fig. 8)
The anvil blade 2 should be adjusted to have a distance
of 0 to 0,50 mm from the cutting blade 1 (fig. 8). This
distance should be kept to guarantee effective operation
of the mac.
Note: Soft materials or wet twigs can get torn instead of
cut properly due to wrong adjustment. Also a blunt an-
vil blade from frequent use produces the same problem.
On the right hand side of the shredder you will find the
blade adjustment knob (3). To adjust the distance turn the
screw to the right.
1. For lighter material, you can cut through the material
completely turn the knob clockwise half a turn.
2. If you are shredding heavy materials (such as harder
or large materials) they may need to be put through
the shredder twice, to crush the material before cutting
it completely. To loosen the adjusting screw, turn the
knob (3) anti-clockwise half a turn.
3. After you have completed the adjustment, check if
the blade cuts efficiently. To avoid and damage to the
shredder make sure that the cutting blade does not
come into contact with the anvil blade.
NOTE
1. Do not allow garden waste to accumulate before
shredding as it will begin to compost, become too
damp and clog the cutting assembly. Dry material will
help most material to clear the ejection chute. Save
some dry sticks until last to help clean the blade area.
2. Frequently monitor the build up/collection of shredded
material.
3. Do not allow shredded material to build up and fill the
inside of the shredders discharge chute.
4. When the collection box is full, press the On/Off switch
to turn the garden shredder Off before emptying.
WARNING!
Do not put your hands up inside the shredder's discharge
chute to clear away shredded material while the shredder
is switched on or connected to the mains supply.
NOTE
In normal use, do not switch off the garden shredder un-
til all of the shredded material has cleared the cutter as-
sembly. If the garden shredder is switched off too quickly,
remaining pieces of material may clog the blade assembly
and stall the motor when the shredder is switched back on.

- Set the reversing switch to position REVERSE. The
cutting blade rotates in the reverse direction and re-
lease the material so that you can remove it. Press
the green START button to turn on.
- Check the power supply cord, the plug and your
house connection fuse and RCD.
- Ensure collection box is in position and locked.
- Change the direction of rotation..
- Set the reversing switch to position (2). Pull the ma-
terial from the feeding funnel.
- Re-feed thick branches such that the chopping knife
does not immediately grasp the pre-cut notches again.
- Pull out the branches from the feeding funnel. Use
the pusher to push or loosen branches inside.
Caution! Change the direction of rotation to the
desired position after the shredder has come to
a complete standstill.
