• Soft material like leaves or sprigs can easily block the
inlet: use a stick to poke it in.
• Always check litter for nails and stones before
shredding as they can seriously damage the
shredder.
• Watch for vibrations, vibration indicates worn or
damaged blades.
• Replace blades if necessary.

9.Cleaning,Maintenance and Storage

9.1 Cleaning And Maintenance
Before commencing cleaning and maintenance
procedures, make sure the garden shredder is
switched off and disconnected from the mains supply.
Always wear sturdy leather gloves when
cleaning the cutter blades.
• To ensure the best performance from the garden
shredder, it must be kept clean.
• Always clean the garden shredder immediately after
use.
• Do not allow material to become dry and hard on
any of the garden shredder surfaces.This will directly
affect the shredding performance.
• Make sure that the inlet chute and the discharge
chute are kept clean and clear of all waste material.
• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight
and secure.
• Always have any damaged or worn parts repaired, or
replaced by qualified personnel.
• Do not use detergents or solvents as these could
cause irreparable damage to your machine.
Chemicals can destroy the plastic parts.
• Oil the drum every 4th or 5th (use BIO-degradable oil
to protect environment).
9.2 Maintenance and storage
• When the machine is stopped for servicing,
inspection, or storage, or to change an accessory,
shut off the power source (electric unit disconnect
from supply), make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop and, where a key is fitted
remove. Allow the machine to cool before making any
inspections, adjustments, etc
• Store the machine where fuel vapor will not reach an
open flame or spark. For extended storage periods,
run the unit dry of fuel. Allow the machine to cool
before storing.
• When servicing the cutting means be aware that,
even though the power source will not start due to the
interlock feature of the guard, the cutting means can
still be moved by a manual starting mechanism.
9.3 Storage
To protect the shredder from corrosion when storing
for a longer period, treat the cutting blade with
environmentally-friendly oil.

10. Electrical connection

The installed electric brake motor is ready to be put into
operation.
The connection meets the relevant VDE and DIN re-
quirements.
The electric brake motor causes the disc blade to come
to a near immediate standstill after the machine has
been turned off.
Firring, repair and maintenance work on the electric unit
can only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Important notes
Damaged electrical connection cables
Insulation damage often occurs with electrical connec-
tion cables.
Some causes are:
• Pressure points, especially when electrical connection
cables are run through window or door cracks.
• Kinks caused by improper handling or mowing of the
electrical connection cables.
• Cuts resulting from being run over
• Insulation damages caused by pulling the cable out
of wall sockets.
• Cracks resulting from aging of the insulation.
Such insulation damaged electrical connection cables
cannot be used and are, as a result of their insulation
damage. LIFETHREATENING!!
Check the electrical cable connections on a regular ba-
sis. When checking the cables, make sure that the ca-
bles are not stuck to the electrical network.
Electrical cable connections built with seal contacts must
meet the relevant VDE and DIN requirements. Only use
electrical cable connections with a rating of at least H 07
RN or a rubber sheathed cable.
The type rating of the connection cable must be printed
on the cable.
Single-phase motor
• The mains voltage must comply with the specifications
on the motor nameplate.
• Extension cables up to 25 m in length must have a
cross section of at least 1,5 mm² , above 25 m at least
2,5 mm²
• Mains fuse protection is 10 Amps slow-blow.
In accordance with safety regulations, the motor is
equipped with a switch featuring an integrated protective
circuitbreaker, which cuts off the current in the event of
overload.
Overload may be caused by the following:
• longer-duration blockage of the knife disc
• alternately switching on/off of the motor in rapid suc-
cession
In the event of a blocked knife disc, remove the cause
to the overload. Disconnect the mains plug. After a short
cooling-off time , switch back on the motor.
