• To protect the shredder from clogging,
shred wilted garden waste that has
been left for a few days and shred thin
twigs alternately with branches.
• Before you shred roots, remove any
remaining soil and stones from them
• Do not shred soft, damp material such
as kitchen waste, grass or leaves: com-
post it directly.
• Keep a few dry branches for the end,
as they will help clean the shredder.
• Only switch the shredder off when all
of the shredding material has passed
through the cylinder. Otherwise, the cylin-
der may jam the next time you switch the
shredder on.
Freeing up a jam
• Push back the operating mode selec-
tion switch ( A 9) lock and turn the
operating mode selection switch to the
left.
The operating mode selection switch
does not lock into place.

Jammed chopping material is released.
The direction of rotation is to be changed
only until the chopping material is re-
leased.
• For stubborn blockages, the distance of
the pressure plate from the blade cyl-
inder can be increased by turning the
adjusting screw ( A 11) anticlockwise.
To switch the device back on, turn the
operating mode selection switch (
A
9).
When the jammed chopping material
has been released, the pressure plate
must be readjusted by turning the ad-
justing screw (
A
11) clockwise.

Exceptionally, if this process fails to
remove the blockage, the following
option remains:
• Undo the four socket head screws (14)
on the housing plate (16).
• Take off the housing plate. This may
require light jerking movements, as the
housing plate also contains two coun-
ter bearings.
• The blockage can now be removed
from the equipment.
• When replacing the housing plate
(16), ensure that it is positioned cor-
rectly. This is determined by the blade
shaft (18), pressure plate rod (17) and
four threads (15).
• Screw on the housing plate (16) firmly
with the four Allen screws (14).
Adjusting the pressure plate
The pressure plate factory setting is correct,
and only has to be adjusted with wear. You
will recognise that the cutting system has
become worn when the shredding material
is only compressed, and comes out in long
chains.
The running-in process may require that
you initially readjust the pressure plate in
short intervals.
1. To switch on the equipment, turn the
operating mode selection switch ( A 9)
to the right.
2. Turn the adjusting screw ( A 11) slowly
clockwise until you hear scraping noises.
Small aluminium shavings will come out
of the ejection chute.
