4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4-4. FEEDING LEAVES AND SMALL GAR- DEN CLIPPINGS - TOP HOPPER

The sloping chute of the top hopper is designed to accept leaves and small garden clippings.

Shredding and mulching is achieved by natural suction of the debris through the blade chamber. Do not overfeed and do not feed wet, soggy material into the garden shredder as this may clog the blade chamber and the discharge chute. (Fig. 4-4)

4-6. SIDE CHUTE

The elongated chute located at the rear of the machine is specially designed to accept solid garden clippings and branches up to 1-1/2" (38mm) in diameter.

IMPORTANT

When feeding long, large diameter material, control the rate of feed by pulling back on the material so as not to stall or overload the motor. (Fig. 4-6)

WARNING

Do not under any circumstances, place hands inside the feeding chutes while the machine is operation. Force feed- ing of debris is not necessary due to the natural suction action of the shredder.

4-1. OPERATION

Read and understand the safety instructions in this owners manual before using your shredder. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury.

1.Connect the shredder to a suitable power outlet.

2.To start and stop the shredder, depress the switch located at the rear of the Motor.

3.To stop the shredder, switch to the off position. (Fig . 4-1)

IMPORTANT

Before replacing top cover assembly ensure that the V-cut- ter is positioned as shown in (Fig. 4-2).

Replace the top cover assembly together with the top cover screw knob ensuring this is tight. If the top cover screw knob is not tight the motor will not start due to the motor lock out switch not being activated.

4-5. FEEDING TWIGS AND SMALL BRANCH- ES - TOP HOPPER

The smaller back chute of the top Hopper accepts medium to larger size garden clippings.

Shredding and mulching is achieved through the same action as the front chute. If a finer type mulch is required than is initially achieved, re-feed the mulch through again until the desired result is obtained. (Fig. 4-5).

JAMMING If overfeeding clogs the machine the overload protection switch may cut out the motor. To restart, switch the machine off and disconnect the power cord.

Loosen discharge chute access knobs and remove top cover assembly, then remove any clogged debris from the cutting chamber. If the top cover assembly becomes jammed and will not lift off, turn the V-cutter by pushing a piece of wood through the back chute of the top hopper to rotate the V-cutter to enable the top cover assembly to be removed. Reset motor overload protection switch. (See Fig. 4-1)
