Push in the overload protection button (3) to re-set, mains power can now be switched on.

If the cutting blades are jammed turn the rotation direction switch to position , before switching the shredder back on again, to clear any clogged material.

Disconnect switch

The machine is equipped with a disconnect switch. This means that the main switch is automatically disconnected in the event of a loss of current. The machine can be started again by reconnecting the plug and turning on the main switch.

Mulching

The following types of material can be mulched in the shredder:

•Twigs and branches.

•Waste from cutting bushes.

•Waste from hedge-trimming.

Examples of materials which are not suitable for mulching include:

•Glass, metal, plastic bags, stones, fabric, earth covered roots.

•Waste that does not have a firm consistency, e.g. kitchen waste.

•Soft Leafy material.

To prevent damage to the machine, you are recommended not to exceed the following maximum sizes of twigs and branches:

•40mm in diameter.

The material that is to be mulched is fed into the inlet chute

(1)and, assuming it is not too bulky, automatically pulled down through the slowly rotating spiral cutter to the blades.

Branches and twigs should be mulched shortly after being cut. They become extremely hard when they dry out, and the maximum diameter of what can be mulched is reduced.

Heavy material or twigs will jam the blades if you let the machine cut continually. 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.

Check all the material you want to shred carefully. Make sure it doesn’t contain any stones or nails as this might severely damage the shredder.

Be aware of vibrations. Heavy vibrations are caused by damaged or worn out blades. Store the shredder indoors in a dry place.

Mulching palm fronds

The GMC shredder is designed to effectively handle palm fronds, reducing them to an easily disposable waste.

If the head of the palm frond is particularly large or hard it may have to be removed before it is inserted into the shredder.

If the material is particularly fibrous or hard then you may have to loosen the blade adjustment screw (10) as outlined in section ‘Adjusting the cutting gear’ and run the material through once to soften it. Then retighten the adjustment screw and insert the material a second time to effectively shred it.

Composting

The processed material can be composted in various ways:

•The material can be placed in a heap directly on the ground (cold composting).
