7.3 Disassembly
Under certain circumstances (e.g. storage after use), the
machine can be disassembled by following the assembly
steps in reverse order.
7.4 Operating Instructions
• Place the material in the feed opening on the right
side. The machine automatically pulls it into the blade,
which rotates counter-clockwise.
• Do not place too much material into the opening at
once to avoid blocking the device. If shredding damp
and rotted garden waste, alternate with branches so
as to avoid blocking the blade.
• Compost soft kitchen waste. Do not place it in the
shredder.
• Branches with leaves must run through the machine
completely before you can add more material. Please
ensure that the shredded material can fall into the col-
lection container freely without blocking the ejection
opening.
• Ensure that the shredded material does not block the
ventilation openings (cover, clog, etc.).
• Extended shredding of wood or shredding thick wood
or strong branches can cause the machine to stop due
to clogging or jamming.
• Soft material like leaves or small branches can clog
the machine easily. Use a stick or a rod to push this
material in.
• Always check waste material for nails and stones
since this could severely damage the shredder.
• Be careful in the event of vibrations; these are typically
