Use

Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.

Switching on and off (fig. C)

uSet the direction selector (2) to left position.

uPress the I button of the on/off switch.

Switching off

uPress the O button of the on/off switch.

Warning! Do not operate the direction selector/switches in sequence using abrupt motions. Sudden switching may generate current spikes potentially damaging the shredder.

Clearing a blockage (fig. C)

If the appliance becomes jammed by branches which are too thick or hard, or foreign bodies, the shredder will most of the time release itself automatically. The rotating direction will automatically reverse thereby releasing the material back through the top. To return the rotation back to normal, proceed as follows:

uSwitch off and wait until the cutting blade has stopped completely.

uSwitch on again with and the appliance will be back to forward rotation.

When the material is jammed:

uSwitch the appliance off.

uSet the direction selector (2) to the right position.

uPress the I button until the blockage is removed. Warning! Branches may be ejected from the inlet funnel when the appliance is running in reverse.

If the blockage has not cleared:

uSwitch off and unplug the appliance.

uUse a piece of wood to loosen the debris within the cutting chamber.

uReplace the plug in the mains socket and operate the appliance as described above to remove any debris.

Warning! Always switch off and unplug the appliance when removing a blockage. Do not attempt to remove blockages by hand through the inlet funnel or outlet opening. Keep your hands clear of the cutting chamber.

Hints for optimum use

uShred dry materials last, as this will help to clear moist material from the shredder.

uDo not allow material to pile up and compost prior to shredding.

uYou may feed shreddings into the shredder for a second time to further reduce their volume.

uRefer to the chart at the end of this text.
