5.2.1- Power cord plugging
Plug the power plug into an approved electrical extension cord, and loop the extension cord around
the power cord anchoring hook.
Connect the extension cord plug to power supply.
Tip: The extension cord may come undone from the power cord during use. To avoid this, use the
cable restraint (9).
5.2.2- To switch ON and OFF
See 4.4.
Important : After you have switched off the machine, do not leave it unattended while still connected
to the electrical supply. Unplug from mains and store product.
5.2.3- Use.
1. Insert the material to be shredded into the opening (feeding chamber) on the right side.
It will be automatically drawn into the machine by the cutter as it turns anticlockwise.
2. Do not stuff the opening completely full to avoid jamming the machine.
3. Alternate feeding branches and small litter that is a bit wet and decomposed. This will also help to
avoid jamming the cutter.
4. Squashy kitchen rubbish must be composted, never put it through the shredder!
5. Branches with leaves must always be entirely through the shredder and out of the way before
feeding new material into the machine. Make sure the shredded material is able to fall unobstructed
into the collection box without blocking the outlet.
6. The ventilation opening must not be locked by the shredded material.
7. Continuous shredding of thick wood or branches can cause the machine to jam.
8. Soft material like leaves or sprigs can easily block the inlet; use a push stick to poke it in.
9. Always check litter for nails and stones before shredding as they can seriously damage the
shredder.
10. For better performance and comfort, it is recommended to empty the collection box regularly (for
ex. when it reaches 2/3
Tips for shredding:
Depending on the type, age and dryness of the wood, branches will be more or less easily shredded.
The best results are obtained when fresh branches are shredded shortly after being cut.
It is recommended to shred soft garden waste in small quantity, especially when the waste is wet.
You can avoid blockage by performing periodic shredding sessions.
5.2.4 – Adjusting the counter plate
To obtain an optimum shredding result and prevent damage to the blade, the counter plate must be
adjusted at regular intervals.
The counter plate must also be adjusted when so called interlinkage occurs.
1. Turn counter plate adjusting knob (A) clockwise until a slight friction noise can be heard and fine
aluminum chips fall from the ejector chute for a short period of time.
2. Then, the materials to be shredded should be fully cut again.
