Always wear proper safety goggles, and ear defenders .
With the machine standing on firm level ground, standing on a board if necessary, plug the machine into the mains supply, via a residual current device (RCD), and start the machine by pressing the ON/OFF rocker switch shown below, to ON.
If the machine fails to start, check to ensure the front cover is firmly secured by tightening, if necessary, the front cover securing knob - see illustration.
NOTE: The front cover securing knob incorporates a microswitch, which prevents the shredder from operating if the front cover is not properly secured.
When the machine is running at full speed, proceed to feed material into the hopper, DO NOT force it. The cutter blades will pull the material into the machine, but small, light material, leaves etc., may need pushing in with the Push Stick - NEVER push material into the hopper with your hands.
The material must be of a size to easily enter the holes in the hopper - max. 40mm.
All side shoots, branches etc., must be cut off beforehand.
Please take note of the safety precautions, and DO NOT attempt to shred hard materials, such as glass, metal, bones, plastic, polythene, rope etc.
Be aware that treated wood when shredded could produce toxic dust, as could prunings with fungus or decay. These materials should not be shredded but taken to the recycling centre.
Place a collecting bag, or bin below the chute to collect chippings.
Fig.5
IMPORTANT!
CAUTION
Should the machine become clogged and stop delivering chippings, switch OFF immediately and disconnect from the mains supply.
Undo the front cover securing knob fully and open the cover. Using industrial quality gloves, remove any material in the chute. Take great care to avoid contact with the cutter blades
- use a stick where necessary.
Ensure the cover is properly secured before plugging into the mains supply and restarting.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Should the machine become overloaded or overheat, a Thermal Overload will intervene, shutting off the machine.
Should this occur, switch OFF the machine and disconnect from the mains supply, open the front cover and remove any material in the chute, then replace the cover.
Allow the machine to cool for at least 5 minutes before plugging into the mains supply, pressing the RESET button, see illustration above and restarting.
