If a portable earth leakage circuit breaker (e.g.
STIGA, order no. 8290-9010-01) is used, it should
always be placed between the electric socket and
the connection cable.
Even if an earth leakage circuit breaker is used,
safety cannot be guaranteed. Always follow the
safety instructions provided. Ideally wear shoes
with thick rubber soles.
Test the operation of the earth leakage circuit
breaker before each use.
In the event of unfavourable electrical mains
conditions, brief voltage drops can occur when you
start the apparatus which can affect other
appliances (e.g. causing lights to flicker).
With a mains impedance of Z
disturbances are unlikely.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE
MOTOR
Ensure that the grinder is empty before
starting the motor.
1. See fig. 2. Connect the electric cable to the pow-
er socket (M).
2. Start the motor by pressing in the green start
button (K).
3. Stop the motor by pressing in the red stop but-
ton (L).
4. Disconnect the connection cable from the pow-
er socket.
MOTOR PROTECTION
The grinder is equipped with built-in motor protec-
tion which prevents the motor being overloaded.
In the event of blockage, the current is cut after a
few seconds and the motor stops.
Always disconnect the plug from the
electric socket before opening the cas-
ing.
Corrective action in the event of overloading:
1. Disconnect the connection cable so that the
grinder is not powered.
2. Open the casing (A) by releasing the knob (E).
3. Remove the jammed material.
4. Close the casing and tighten the knob.
5. Wait for at least one minute after the motor has
stopped.
6. Connect the connection cable and reset the mo-
tor protection by pressing the reset button (J).

EMERGENCY STOP
In order to emergency stop the machine, press the
red pushbutton (L).
DISCONNECT SWITCH
The machine is equipped with a disconnect switch.
This means that the main switch is automatically
disconnected in the event of a loss of current. The
machine can be started again by reconnecting the
plug and turning on the main switch.
INTERLOCK
The grinder is equipped with an electric interlock,
which prevents the motor from starting when the
< 0,35 ohm, such
casing is open.
max
The interlock consists of the pin (D), which affects
an integrated switch.
Always tighten the knob (E) fully when closing the
casing so that the pin affects the switch correctly.
GRINDING
The following types of material can be ground in
the compost grinder:
- twigs and branches
- waste from cutting bushes.
- waste from hedge-trimming.
- plant parts and other garden waste which is
Examples of materials which are not suitable for
- glass, metal, plastic bags, stones, fabric, earth-
- waste that does not have a firm consistency, e.g.
To prevent damage to the machine, you are
recommended not to exceed the following
maximum sizes of twigs and branches:
Feel free to stand the grinder on a tarpaulin or
similar before grinding. This will catch the ground
material and make removal easier.
Branches and twigs should be ground shortly after
being cut. They become extremely hard when they
dry out, and the maximum diameter of what can be
ground is reduced.
The interlock must never be tampered
with. Risk of serious injury.
