3.4 Emptying the box
Make sure the shredded material in the collection box do-
esn't reach too high a level; if this happens, the shredded
material could clog the discharge chute, causing material
to back up through the feed opening.
To remove or empty the box, turn off the motor, lower the
safety handle (1) and take out the box (2).
3.5 Clogging of material
If material to be shredded becomes clogged, you can free
the shredding roller by reversing the rotation direction of
the motor . Therefore:
– r everse the rotation direction by pushing the black but-
ton (4-▲), taking care that material does not back up
from the feeding chute;
– a led (5) lights up to indicate that rotation is in the op-
posite direction.
– w hen you have unblocked the material, press the black
button (3-▼) to restore the operating rotation direction.
Stop the motor and disconnect from the mains supply if
you must unclog the chute and the material discharge
chute.
3.6 End of work
When you have finished work, stop the motor by pres-
sing the red button (2-O).
Disconnect the extension lead (11) BEFORE the general
mains socket (13) THEN from the machine plug (12).
Remove and empty the container.
4. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT - Routine and accurate maintenance is
essential in maintaining original machine safety and
performance levels.
Store the machine in a dry place.
Disconnect the machine from the mains supply
before starting any cleaning, inspection or mainte-
nance activities.
1) W ear sturdy work gloves before cleaning, maintaining
or adjusting the machine.
2) After each use, remove the collection box and clean
the remaining debris in the discharge chute.
3) A fter each use, spray a light layer of biodegradable
oil on the shredding roller to protect the metal from
corrosion.
4) A lways make sure the air vents are free of debris.
5) D o not spray water onto and avoid wetting the motor
and electrical components. Do not use harsh liquids to
clean plastic parts.
6) D o not attempt to carry out demanding repairs without
the necessary means and technical knowledge. All
work on the machine that is poorly executed automa-
tically voids the Warranty, releasing the Manufacturer
of all liability.

4.1 Distance adjustment
The distance between the pressure plate (2) and shred-
ding roller (3) must be adjusted before using the machine
for the first time. Afterwards, it is necessary only when
shredding proves to be imperfect.
In order to set the plate (2) in an optimal position with
regard to the roller (3), you must:
– start up the motor to activate the shredding roller (3);
– t urn the handwheel (1) slowly clockwise to bring the
plate (2) closer to the roller until you hear a scraping
sound between the two parts, demonstrated by small
metal shavings falling from the discharge chute.
Avoid excessive contact in order to prevent unnecessary
wear to the plate.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Environmental protection should be a priority of conside-
rable importance when using the machine, for the benefit
of both society and the environment in which we live.
– A void causing any disturbance to the surrounding area.
– S crupulously comply with local regulations for the di-
sposal of waste materials after working.
– S crupulously comply with local regulations for the di-
sposal of packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements
with a strong environmental impact; this waste must not
be disposed of as normal waste, but must be separated
and taken to specified waste disposal centres where
the material will be recycled.
– When decommissioning, do not abandon the machine
in the environment, but hand it over to a disposal cen-
tre, in accordance with the local regulations in force.
