b) operation
- Wait until the motor has reached its maximum speed. Only work when at
maximum speed.
- Place plant matter in the plastic feeding chute, standing to the right of it to
avoid any possible kickback of material.
- make sure no-one is standing in the discharge zone.
Material suitable for shredding: Cut flowers, hedge trimmings, branches
no more than 35 mm in diameter.
You must not put glass, stones, metal or plastic in the shredder. you must therefore check that the plant
matter to be shredded does not contain any foreign objects.
If a foreign object accidentally gets into the shredder, stop it immediately, disconnect the spark plug cable,
inspect the machine and if necessary have repairs carried out by an approved service agent.
- !!WarnIng!! Never operate the shredder without the discharge pipe deflector (risk of
projectiles and possibility of coming into contact with the cutting assembly).
- always give the shredder time to discharge plant matter before adding more (risk of
jamming).
- If necessary remove a branch to allow the shredder to get back up to maximum speed.
- If the shredder has a tendency to swallow branches and then stall, hold them back slightly.
c) Tips
- avoid shredding damp plant matter (risk of jamming).
- avoid shredding very dry wood (when harder it puts
more stress on the blades).
- For easier operating conditions, always work with
well sharpened blades.
