Overload Protection
Overloading (e. g. clogging up of the cutter) can lead to a
standstill of the machine after a few seconds. After a short pe-
riod, the machine can be switched on again.
If the shredder clogs up again, turn it off, pull out the mains
plug, and clear the blockage. Continuous overloading and
blocking up of the motor outlet vents can cause the motor
thermal overload cutout to trip. Clean the outlet mesh and
turn the shredder off for several minutes to allow it to cool.
The trip will reset automatically, but the shredder will not, of
course, start again until you turn the ON/OFF knob back to
"0" and repeat the start sequence.
Advice on Shredding
Branches become harder to shred depending on the type, age
and dryness of the wood.

For best results, shred fresh branches soon after they have
been cut.
Soft garden waste should be shredded in smaller loads, par-
ticularly when wet. Any blockages can be avoided by intermit-
tently shredding branches.
Blade Maintenance
Stop and remove plug from the power supply.
The blade has a double-sided cutting edge.
When the cutting edges become blunt, the blade can be
turned over.
The blade bolt can be reused. Ensure it is tightened very firm-
ly when replacing the cutter disc. When both sides are blunt,
replace the blade. A new blade is available as a spare; use the
new bolt which is supplied with it.
Corrective Action
Do not push On/Off switch while it is being rotated
Turn power on
Use another socket
Inspect cable, replace if damaged
Replace/restart
