SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Repairs on electrical parts of the ma-
chine and on the safety cut-out must be
done by the producer or by a company
designated by the producer.
Please read the following safety instruc-
tions carefully.
• Within his area of work the operator will be re-

should be equipped with a rubber plug. The lead
section should be a minimum of 3 x 1,5 mm².
 Never use faulty connecting lines.
 Connect the machine using a fault current pro-
tection switch.
 Always switch off motor before maintenance
and cleaning of shredder. Remove mains plug
from socket (also during transport and when
leaving machine unattended).
 Do not operate without the funnel. Faulty or damaged parts in the device must be
replaced immediately.
 Never reach into the filling or ejection opening
when the machine is running.
 Do not spray machine with water (this is haz-
ardous due to live components).
 Wear safety gloves during assembly and clean-
ing work.
 Never modify the machine or parts thereof.
 Only use the machine for the purposes listed un-
der Section “Chopping”.
 Do not leave the machine standing in the rain or
use when raining. Store the machine in a dry
place.
ASSEMBLY
See pages 4 - 5.
Use the enclosed disposable screws
(M5 x 16) to fit the funnel (a) to the pre-
assembled machine (b). Otherwise no li-
ability will be assumed!
START-UP
Check that the machine is completely and correctly
assembled.
To avoid toppling, place the chopper on a firm hor-
izontal surface.
Connect the machine to an appropriate and correct-
ly wired electric socket.
Only use extension leads with sufficient diameters:
- cable up to 25 metres: diameter at least 1,5
mm².
- cable over 25 metres: diameter at least 2,5 mm².
Fuse protection:
- for model 2000: 16 A inert
Before using the shredder, make sure each time
that:

CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF
ROTATION
Always switch the device off, wait until it comes to
a standstill and shift the safety catch before chang-
ing the direction of rotation.
Switch on:
Turn On-Off switch to “I”.
Switch off:
Turn On-Off switch to “0”.
CHOPPING
What can I chop?
Ye s :
- all types of branches.
- withered garden refuse which has lain a num-
ber of days. Only shred in alternation with
branches.
- hard wood, though only with sharp cutter.
No:
- glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth,
roots with soil.
- refuse which does not have a solid consistency,
e.g. kitchen waste.
SPECIAL TIPS ON CHOPPING
Please do not exceed the maximum branch diame-
ter specified for your appliance (see page 38).
Branches, twigs and wood should be broken down
immediately after they have been cut. Material of
this kinds gets very hard when it is dry, and it there-
fore makers sense to reduce the maximum branch
diameters, so that it is ready for chopping.
Remove any side shoots from branches with a
large number of twigs.The cutter automatically draws the shredding ma-
terial into the machine through the slow rotation of
the cutting rollers.
If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor
switch ensures that the machine turns itself off au-
tomatically:
- turn the shredder on again after about 5
minutes.
- during those five minutes you cannot turn the
machine on. See “Operational faults”.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OVER IN THE DI-
RECTION OF ROTATION
If the unit suddenly clogs, the blades may start to
turn in the opposite direction and push the shred-
ded 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.
ADJUSTING THE SHAVING PLATE
The cutting mechanism is adjusted in the works
and does not have to be set during initial commis-
sioning.
Switch on device (switch top right position)
Turn adjusting knob in a clockwise direction with
the motor running until scraping noises are heard
and fine aluminium chips fall out of the delivery
chute. Worn points on the shaving plate are opti-
mally compensated.
This improves the cutting of the shredding
material.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Each time before starting maintenance work:
- switch off the motor and withdraw the mains
plug.
- wear protective gloves to prevent injury.

Generally garden shredders require little mainte-
nance. To maintain their efficiency and a long life,
observe the following:
- keep vent slits clean and free from obstructions.
- check the locking screws (tighten where ne-
cessary).
- clean the device after shredding.
- the shredder should not be cleaned with high
pressure cleaners or running water.
- treat the cutting roller after every use with a
biodegradable spray oil as protection against
corrosion.
- the cutting roller and shaving plate are ex-
pendable parts, though with normal use and
correct adjustment they have a service life of
many years.
