Press the reset button before pressing the on/off switch.
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves dur-
ing the above steps.
WARNING: Never loosen the hand screws be-
fore deactivating the unit and removing the plug

7.3 Disassembly
Under certain circumstances (e.g. storage after use), the
machine can be disassembled by following the assembly
steps in reverse order.
7.4 Operating Instructions
• Place the material in the feed opening on the right
side. The machine automatically pulls it into the blade,
which rotates counter-clockwise.
• Do not place too much material into the opening at
once to avoid blocking the device. If shredding damp
and rotted garden waste, alternate with branches so
as to avoid blocking the blade.
• Compost soft kitchen waste. Do not place it in the
shredder.
• Branches with leaves must run through the machine
completely before you can add more material. Please
ensure that the shredded material can fall into the col-
lection container freely without blocking the ejection
opening.
• Ensure that the shredded material does not block the
ventilation openings (cover, clog, etc.).
• Extended shredding of wood or shredding thick wood
or strong branches can cause the machine to stop due
to clogging or jamming.
• Soft material like leaves or small branches can clog
the machine easily. Use a stick or a rod to push this
material in.
• Always check waste material for nails and stones
since this could severely damage the shredder.
• Be careful in the event of vibrations; these are typically
a sign of worn or damaged blades.
• Always change the blade as necessary.
8. Care and maintenance
WARNING!
Before commencing cleaning and maintenance proce-
dures, make sure the garden shredder is switched off and
disconnected from the mains supply. Always wear sturdy
leather gloves when cleaning the cutter blades.
1. To ensure the best performance from the garden
shredder, it must be kept clean.
2. Always clean the garden shredder immediately after
use.
3. Do not allow material to become dry and hard on any
of the garden shredder surfaces. This will directly af-
fect the shredding performance.
4. Make sure that the feeder chute and the ejection
chute are kept clean and clear of all waste material.
5. Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight and
secure.
6. Always have any damaged, or worn parts repaired, or
replaced by qualified personnel.

The blades must always be changed in pairs. To do so,
open the shredder and block the blades with a screw-

Install the new blades in the opposite order.
9. Storage
In order to protect the shredder from corrosion during ex-
tended storage, apply some environmentally friendly oil
to the blade.
Make sure that the garden shredder has been thoroughly
cleaned before storing it in a clean, dry place out of the
reach of children.
