6.2 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 13/Item B)
Press the green knob to switch on the shredder.
Press the red knob to switch it off.
Note: The device has a zero voltage switch. This
prevents the device restarting unintentionally after a
power failure.
6.3 Safety switch (Fig. 12/Item A)
When using the device the shredded material debris
box must be securely in position and the safety
switch locked as shown in Fig. 12.
6.4 Direction selection switch (Fig.13/Item C)
Important! The switch for selecting the direction
of rotation can only be moved when the shredder
is switched off.
Position "⇓"
The material is automatically drawn in by the blade
and shredded.
Position "⇑"
The blade rotates in the opposite direction to release
jammed material. After moving the selector switch to
the "⇑" position, press and hold the green knob of the
ON/OFF switch. The blade will start to rotate in the
opposite direction. As soon as you release the
ON/OFF switch, the shredder will stop automatically.
Important! Always wait until the shredder has
reached a standstill before you switch it on
again.
Large items or pieces of wood will be discharged
both in the cutting and in the release direction after
the blade has been started and reversed several
times.
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.
Fill in the material you want to shred at the funnel
on the side with the larger opening (Fig. 1/Item
17).
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.
