A large proportion of garden waste contains a lot
of water and therefore sticks easily. Such material
should be allowed to dry for a few days before
being processed.
Store the grinder indoors in a dry place.
COMPOSTING
The processed material can be composted in
various ways:
- The material can be placed in a heap directly on
the ground (cold composting).
- The material can be placed in a plastic contain-
er, wooden crate, skeleton container or similar
(cold composting).
- The material can be placed in an insulated com-
post holder. The heat is then held for longer and
the rotting process also continues during the
winter. This method produces faster results
(warm composting).
- The material can be spread directly onto the
garden (surface composting).
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the plug from the
electric socket before any maintenance.
Always wear protective gloves to avoid
injury.
Generally speaking, compost grinders require very
little maintenance. In order to maintain the
efficiency of the machine and to achieve a long
service life, observe the following:
• keep the air openings clean and free of obstructing
material.
• check the customer-installed nuts and screws
(tighten if necessary).
CLEANING
Always clean the compost grinder after each use.
Never use a high-pressure washer or
running water when cleaning the
grinder!
Brush away dirt and plant residue, which could be
caught in the blades. Wipe the outside of the
grinder clean using a cloth which has been
moistened with a mild detergent and water.
REPLACING/TURNING BLADES
The grinder is equipped with two blades. Each
blade has two edges, only one of which is used.
The other edge is a spare. The blades can therefore
ENGLISH
be turned. When both edges have worn out, the
blades must be replaced. Removal and installation
of the blades is carried out as follows:
1. Disconnect the connection cable so that the
grinder is not powered.
2. See fig. 1. Open the casing (E) by releasing the
knob (E).
3. Lock the rotor by inserting the wrench provided
(N) in fig. 3.
4. Unscrew the blade screws using the Allen key
provided (O).
5. Turn/replace the blade and tighten the screws.
6. Remove the wrench (N).
7. Carry out the same procedure with the other
blade.
Authorised service stations carry out repairs and
servicing. They use genuine spare parts.
Under no circumstances may parts
other than genuine spare parts be used.
This is a requirement stipulated by the
Testing Authority. The machine is
approved and tested with these parts.
If the machine requires servicing,
repairs or maintenance which entail
dismantling of the cover, this must be
performed by an authorised service
station.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make
alterations to the product without prior
notification.
