If the motor becomes blocked,
switch off the machine immediately.
8.7 Overload protection
If an overload of the motor occurs during
operation, the built-in overload protection
device automatically switches off the
motor.
The garden shredder can be started up
again after a cooling period of
approx. 10 minutes. Frequent triggering
of the overload protection may be
attributable to the following causes:
– Unsuitable electric cable (
– Power overload
– Machine overload due to excessive
quantities of shredding material.
8.8 When the blade roller blocks
An overloaded motor, too much shredding
material, foreign objects or branches that
are too thick will cause the blade roller to
become blocked after a short period of
time and bring the machine to a standstill
or cause the rotational direction of the
blade roller to be changed automatically.
The blade roller blocks or changes
the rotational direction
automatically when overloaded.
● Immediately press the "Off" switch.
● Allow the machine to cool and switch on
again as described. (

9. Safety devices
9.1 Motor restart inhibitor
The machine can only be started via the
switch and not by plugging the electric
cable into the mains socket.
9.2 Protective covers
The garden shredder is equipped with
protective covers in the feeding and
ejection areas. These include the VIKING
10.1)
cloverleaf opening in the feed chute, the
ejection chute extension and the discharge
flap.
The protective covers ensure that a safe
distance is maintained from the blade
roller when shredding.
10. Operating the machine
10.1 Electrical connection of garden
shredders
Risk of injury!
Observe the instructions in section
"Warning – dangers caused by
electrical current" (
4.2).
Power supply and operating voltage must
correspond (see identification plate).
The power cable must be adequately
protected by fuse. (
16.)
Only electric cables which are no lighter
than rubber sheathed cables
H07 RN-F DIN/VDE 0282 may be used.
The plug connections must be splash
proof. Unsuitable extension cables lead to
a loss of power and may result in damage
to the motor.
The minimum cross-section of the power
cable must be 3 x 1.5 mm² for a length of
up to 25 m or 3 x 2.5 mm² for a length of
up to 50 m.
The connectors of the electric cable must
be made of rubber or have a rubber
coating and conform to the DIN/VDE 0620
standard.
This machine is intended for operation with
a power supply having a system
impedance of Z
at the transfer point
max
(house connection) of maximum
0.49 Ohm (at 50 Hz).
The user must ensure that the machine is
only operated with a power supply which
meets this requirement. If necessary, this
information can be obtained from the local
electric power company.
