disconnect the power cable. Then remove
the feed chute and eliminate the cause of
the fault.

9. Safety devices

9.1 Motor restart inhibitor

The machine can only be started via the
switch and not by plugging the electric
cable into the mains socket.

9.2 Safety interlock

The motor/shredding tool may only be
operated when the feed chute has been
properly closed. If the right closure screw
(machine viewed from the front) becomes
loose during operation, the motor is
switched off automatically and after a few
seconds the shredding tool comes to a
standstill.

9.3 Motor run-down brake

The motor run-down brake shortens the
run-down time from when the machine is
switched off until the blades stop to a few
seconds.

9.4 Protective covers

The garden shredder is equipped with
protective covers in the feeding and
ejection areas. These include the
complete feed chute with the upper chute
and splash guard, the ejection chute
extension and the discharge flap.

10.1 Electrical connection of garden

shredders

Risk of injury!
Observe the instructions in section
"Warning – dangers caused by
electrical current" ( 4.2).
The UK version of the garden
shredder has a 10 m electric cable
with a special plug.
A plug-in fuse is included in this UK
plug.
Power supply and operating voltage must
correspond (see rating plate).
The power cable must be adequately
protected by fuse. ( 17.)
Only electric cables which are no lighter
than rubber sheathed cables
H07 RN-F DIN/VDE 0282 may be used.
The plug connections must be splash
proof. Unsuitable extension cables lead to
a loss of power and may result in damage
to the motor.
The minimum cross-section of the power
cable must be 3 x 1.5 mm² for a length of
up to 25 m or 3 x 2.5 mm² for a length of
up to 50 m.
The connectors of the electric cable must
be made of rubber or have a rubber
coating and conform to the DIN/VDE 0620
standard.
This machine is intended for operation with
a power supply having a system
impedance of Z
max
(house connection) of maximum
0.435 ohms (at 50 Hz).
