We recommend wearing safety gloves, protective goggles and ear muffs for personal safety when
working with the chopper.
Tips for cutting
Your BENZA shredder is fitted with a special 6-blade cutting system. Because of the high, large-sized
hopper long branches do not have to be shortened or prepared. These are drawn in by the shredders
themselves and chopped up. Thick branches can best be chopped up when still freshly cut.
• In the case of branches with many arms and twigs (e.g. from apple trees, hawthorn etc.) only those
lateral branches need be removed so as to ensure that they do not jam in the filling hopper. An
optimum particle size for composting is achieved after only one shredding process.
• After the motor has been started, feed the material to be chopped into the filling hopper whilst
standing behind the machine. Branches should be fed in thick-end first.
• You can change the chip size by adjusting a active door up or down on the feed intake tube. Loosen
the knob "breakdown parts number 1" and move the active door "breakdown parts number 2" to
position you desired, and then re-tighten the knob again.
Pay attention to the following when chipping:
• Thin twigs and branches can be inserted immediately without preparation.
• Do not overfill the shredder-only feed in as much material as can be chipped by the shredder.
Otherwise the material can become wound around the blades.
• This is particularly true of pliable and stringy material (birch, willow etc.).
• Freshly cut wood up to 38 mm should be guided to the shredder blade.
• Feed in cutting wood by hand and chop.
• The material to be chopped is taken in and automatically processed.
• Branch thickness 0-38 mm only applies for freshly cut wood!
Roots and bushes are to be cleaned of any earth since soil and stones can quickly wear out the
shredder blades. That is why "clean"material should be processed first and only then can the waste
which is still slightly dirty despite knocking and shaking be chopped up .Old plants and garden
waste often contain a lot of moisture and can thus lead the cutting works clogging up. We
recommend that this type of material is left for a few days to dry before processing.
NOTE:Soft material calls for sharp blades since otherwise it can become wound
around the shredder disc.It is better to process wet and dry waste alternatively.
By doing this the inside of the housing automatically cleans itself. Coarsely chopped material can
be reprocessed. Non-organic or hard materials such as stones, glass, plastics, metal parts and
textiles should not be fed into the shredder.
Switch off the motorr
Open the yellow cover and press the red button marked"O"or press red mushroom button directly in
an emergency:
Push the red mushroom button (Emergency Stop); e.g. if the shredder disc is blocked!
