♦ The cutter automatically draws the shredding material into the
machine through the slow rotation of the cutting rollers.
♦ Do not allow the chopped material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to chopped
material blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the
filler opening.
♦ Clean out the filler opening and ejection channel thoroughly if
the machine becomes blocked. Before doing this, switch the
motor off and disconnect the machine from the mains power
supply.
♦ Automatic switch-over in the direction of rotation:
If the unit suddenly clogs, the blades may start to turn in the
opposite direction and push the shredded material back
out.
Switch off unit
−
Wait until the blades come to a standstill
−
Switch unit back on and use material which is easier to
−
process.
♦ If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor switch
ensures that the machine turns itself off automatically
turn the shredder on again after about 5 minutes
−
during those five minutes you cannot turn the machine
−
on. See point "Operational faults".

The cutting unit has been adjusted at the factory and need
not be adjusted prior to being put into operation for the first time.
It is possible to adjust the counter blade at the cutting roller free
of clearance. For an effective operation, an as small as possible
clearance should be maintained.
Soft material or wet branches may tear instead of being cut. A
counter blade that is worn after repeated use may also lead to
this problem.
