Overload protection
In the event of overload, e.g. due to

when the power returns after a power cut.
To restart the unit, press the On switch.
Working methods

• When feeding branches to the unit,
keep holding them until they are auto-
matically drawn in.
• Adapt to the speed of the shredder
and avoid overloading the unit.
• To avoid the unit clogging up, mix the
branches with twigs and gardening
waste allowed to wither for several
days.
• To prevent the blades from becoming
blunt quickly, remove mud and stones
from the roots before shredding.
• Do not shred but directly compost all
soft and wet material such as kitchen
waste.
• Keep a couple of dry branches to use
them for cleaning the unit at the end.
• Do not turn off the unit until all the ma-
terial has passed the blades. Remain-
ing material may otherwise block the
blade when you restart the unit.
