USING THE BALER:
The strap brake (28) (fig. 16) must be closed
(move lever to right).
Note: If baling is to be performed without subse-
quent tying off, refer to ”EJECT INTO PLASTIC
SACK WITHOUT TYING OFF”.
FEEDING THE BALER VIA THE SHREDDER:
When the baling chamber and the inlet funnel are
filled with material from the shredder, the compact-
ing cycle is started:
The baling ram (32) advances, compacts the
material and then returns to home position. The
shredder may be fed while the baler is compact-
ing.
FEEDING THE BALER MANUALLY:
Do not compact aerosol con-
tainers such as spray cans etc.
(danger of explosion)!
Non-confidential materials can also be fed manu-
ally to the baler. Return the baling ram to its rear,
home position if necessary (close the inlet flap
and press the ”Return Ram” key (17) (fig. 8)) and
proceed as follows:
1. Open the inlet flap (30) (fig. 2).
2. Insert material into the baling chamber.
3. Close the inlet flap and activate the „Advance
Ram“ Key (15) (fig. 8).
The baling ram (32) travels forwards (compact-
ing cycle) and, when the compaction procedure
is complete, returns to its home position. Feed-
ing may now be continued.
EJECTING THE COMPLETED BALE:
When, after several compacting cycles, the bal-
ing ram (32) no longer returns to home position,
but rather remains pressed against the bale,
maximum bale volume has been reached. The
bale must be tied off and ejected. A horn sounds
to indicate this.
Confirm the „bale ready“ mode by operating the
„Stop Cutter“ pushbutton (4) (fig. 6). The horn
stops.
Note: The shredder cannot be started while
the bale is being tied off and ejected (inlet and
discharge flaps are open).
The bale can be ejected in three different ways,
and then removed.
A) Tie off and eject into plastic sack (for small
particles) (fig. 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13)
B) Tie off and eject without plastic sack (for large
particles) (fig. 9, 10 and 12)
C) Eject into plastic sack without tying off (for
small particles) (fig. 11 and 13)
Note: Suitable sacks and straps can be ordered
at any time (see ”ACCESSORIES).
TYING OFF THE BALE (fig. 9, 10, 12, 16):
1. Open the inlet flap (30).
2. Open the strap brake (28) (fig. 16).
3. Pull the straps to approximately 40 cm above
the baling ram with the help of the strap lifters
(33) and the included strap hook (fig. 9).
4. Firmly hold the straps and return the strap lifters
to their original position.
5. Loosen the strap ends (34) which have been
secured to the baler housing, knot them to-
gether with the respective straps pulled out in
the preceding step (fig. 10) and cut the strap
behind the knot with a pair of scissors (fig.
12).
6. Close the inlet flap (30).
OPENING THE DISCHARGE FLAP (31):
1. Press and hold the ”Open Discharge Flap”
key (16) for at least 2 seconds. The baling
ram travels a short distance in reverse, and
the locking lever (35) travels a short distance
forward in order to relieve pressure at the
discharge flap.
2. Slightly lift the locking lever (35).
3. Swing the discharge flap down.
A) TIE OFF AND EJECT
INTO PLASTIC SACK (fig. 11 and 13):
1. Close the inlet flap (30).
2. Open the discharge flap (31).
3. Press and hold the ”Advance Ram” key
(15) (fig. 8). The completed, tied off bale is
ejected into the plastic sack and is pushed
onto the discharge flap (fig. 11).
For reasons of safety,
advance and reverse ram travel is
only possible in inching operation
when the discharge flap is open.
The key must thus be pressed and
held in order to eject the bale!
4. Remove the sack from the sack frame
(36).
5. Fold the end of the sack together and seal
with tape (fig. 13). The bale can now be
removed.
B) TIE OFF AND EJECT
WITHOUT PLASTIC SACK:
Same as described under ”A)”, except no
plastic sack is used. The bale can be removed
immediately after ejection.
C) EJECT INTO PLASTIC SACK
WITHOUT TYING OFF (fig. 11 and 13):
Note: In this case, the tie-off straps which have
been laid out inside the baling chamber must
be removed and rolled back onto the strap
rolls (41).
1. Close the inlet flap and open the discharge
flap.
2. Press the bale into the plastic sack and
onto the discharge flap by activating the
”Advance Ram” key (15) (fig. 11).
3. Fold the end of the sack together and seal
with tape (fig. 13). The bale can now be
removed.
4. Return the baling ram to home position by
pressing the ”Return Ram” key (17) and
close the inlet flap.
Note: This is only possible in inching opera-
tion when the discharge flap is open.
INSTALLING A NEW PLASTIC SACK (fig. 15)
Note: If the bale is to be tied off, the straps must
be laid out as described under ”INSERTING
STRAPS FOR A NEW BALE” before the sack is
installed to the sack frame (36) (fig. 14) (does not
apply for option ”C”).
1. Open the discharge flap and return the baling
ram to its rear, home position. The inlet flap
remains closed.
2. Push the sack bit by bit over the sack frame
(36) until the entire sack has been mounted to
the frame.
3. Close the discharge flap.
INSERTING STRAPS
FOR A NEW BALE (fig. 14, 16 and 17):
1. Return the baling ram to home position by
pressing the ”Return Ram” key (17).
Note: This is only possible in inching operation
when the discharge flap is open.
2. Open the inlet flap.
3. Pull the straps out a distance equivalent to
about one flap length, guide the strap ends
from the inside over the strap hook (37),
through the inlet opening and up to the strap
clamps (38) (fig. 14). Secure the strap ends
here by wrapping them twice around the
clamps.
4. Close the strap brake (28) (fig. 16).
Note: In order to allow for subsequent tying
off of the bale, the strap brake must be closed
before the compacting cycle.
5. Close the discharge flap (31), as well as the
inlet flap (30), if the shredder is to be used.
Attention: In order to avoid damage to the
straps, it is advisable to refrain from compact-
ing bottles, glass or other objects with sharp
edges such as sheet metal etc.
REPLACING THE
STRAP ROLLS (41) (fig. 16, 17 and 18)
1. Close the inlet flap and advance the baling ram
about 30 cm.
2. Open the inlet flap and remove both strap lifters
(33).
3. Open the strap brake (28) (fig. 16).
4. Insert the strap rolls (41) in to the strap roll
holder (40) as shown, with the strap ends
pointing down (fig. 17).
5. Secure the strap end to the loop on the included
pull cable and feed the other end of the pull
cable (45) (fig. 17) through the opening at the
strap brake (28) and into the strap guide (39)
(fig. 17). The strap can now be pulled through
the strap guide with the pull cable, until it is
visible within the baling chamber.
6. Loosen the strap end from the pull cable as
shown, feed it through the strap lifter (33) and
set the strap lifter back into place at the baling
ram (32) (fig. 18).
7. Insert both straps as described under ”IN-
SERTING STRAPS FOR A NEW BALE” and
close the strap brake (28) (fig. 16).
8. Close the discharge and the inlet flaps and re-
turn the baling ram to its rear, home position.
