A) at the front as shown in Fig. 11. Ensure that
the shredded material debris box runs above
the guide rails (Fig. 4/Item A).
5. Lock the shredded material debris box with
safety switch (Fig. 12/Item A) in position by
pushing upwards.
6. Operation
Please observe the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement during operating times,
which may differ from town to town.
6.1 Mains connection
Connect the device with an extension lead con-
nected to the integrated power plug (Fig. 13/Item
E). Be sure to observe the relevant information in
the safety instructions.
6.2 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 13/Item B)
•
Press the green knob to switch on the shred-
der.
•
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 direc-
tion of rotation can only be moved when the
shredder is switched off.
Position "⇓"
The material is automatically drawn in by the bla-
de and shredded.
Position "⇑"
The blade rotates in the opposite direction to
release jammed material. After moving the selec-
tor 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.

Note: If the switch for selecting the direction of
rotation is in its center position, the motor will not
start.
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 po-
sition "⇑" 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 protec-
tion.
•
Fill in the material you want to shred at the
funnel on the side with the larger opening
(Fig. 1/Item 15).
•
The material is drawn into the shredder auto-
matically. 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 materi-
al and branches. This will help to prevent the
loading funnel becoming clogged with materi-
al.
•
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
material.
•
Do not allow the discharge opening to be-
come clogged with shredded material – risk
of pile-ups.
•
Do not cover the ventilation slits.
