Always wear gloves when cleaning.
1. Cleaning garden shredder: (See Fig. 9)
a) Unscrew the hopper locking knob (D) counter clockwise
and open the hopper.
b) Clean cutting blades and discharge area and remove
wood sticks or objects that may clog the blades.
c) The garden shredder has two blades that are attached
to a rotary plate with two screws, (See Fig. 10). Before
any maintenance or cleaning is done on the blades,
always turn the switch off and disconnect the plug from
the outlet.
d) Check blades for damage. Use only identical replace-
ment parts if it becomes necessary to replace them.
e) Return the hopper to its upright position and tighten the
knob before operating the garden shredder.
2. Use only a warm damp cloth and a soft brush to clean
your garden shredder. Always wear safety glasses to
protect your eyes during cleaning.
3. Never spray water on the garden shredder or wash it with
water. Do not use detergents or solvents as these could
cause irreparable damage to your shredder.
4. The fastening screws of the stand assembly should be
checked from time to time. Periodically check all nuts,
bolts and screws to be sure the shredder is in safe
working condition.
5. Make sure the ventilation slots are always kept clean and
are free of debris.
6. To protect the garden shredder from corrosion when
storing for a long period, treat the cutting blade with oil.
7. Cutting blade replacement. (Fig. 9 & 10)
a) The reversible blade is fixed to the rotary plate with
two screws. Before any maintenance or cleaning of the
blades, always turn the switch off and disconnect the
plug from the outlet.
b) Turn the Hopper Locking Knob (D) counterclockwise until
the housing cover can be opened.
c) Lift up the housing cover to expose the two blades.
d) Align the slots on the board, the blade support and the
main body and insert a metal rod like a screwdriver into
the slots to prevent rotating when removing the blade
with the supplied hex key.
e) Remove the old blade. Either reverse the blade so the
sharp edge is in the cutting position or insert a replace-
ment blade. Use the same method to replace the
other blade.
f) Replace and tighten the two screws to secure the new
blade to the support.
