Read and understand the safety instructions in this owners
manual before using your shredder. Failure to comply can
result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious
personal injury.
1. Connect the shredder to a suitable power outlet.

IMPORTANT
Before replacing top cover assembly ensure that the V-cutter is positioned as shown in (Fig. 4-2).
Replace the top cover assembly together with the top cover
screw knob ensuring this is tight. If the top cover screw
knob is not tight the motor will not start due to the motor
lock out switch not being activated.
4-4. FEEDING LEAVES AND SMALL GAR-
DEN CLIPPINGS - TOP HOPPER
The sloping chute of the top hopper is designed to accept
leaves and small garden clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved by natural suction of
the debris through the blade chamber. Do not overfeed and
do not feed wet, soggy material into the garden shredder as
this may clog the blade chamber and the discharge chute.
(Fig. 4-4)
4-4
4-5. FEEDING TWIGS AND SMALL BRANCH-
ES - TOP HOPPER
The smaller back chute of the top Hopper accepts medium
to larger size garden clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved through the same
action as the front chute. If a finer type mulch is required
than is initially achieved, re-feed the mulch through again
until the desired result is obtained. (Fig. 4-5).
Do not feed solid branches through the two Top Hopper
chutes.
4-6. SIDE CHUTE
The elongated chute located at the rear of the machine is
specially designed to accept solid garden clippings and
branches up to 1-1/2" (38mm) in diameter.
IMPORTANT
When feeding long, large diameter material, control the
rate of feed by pulling back on the material so as not to stall
or overload the motor. (Fig. 4-6)

Do not under any circumstances, place hands inside the
feeding chutes while the machine is operation. Force feeding of debr

6 - TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Your Shredder has been designed for a low level of mainte-
, involving routine cleaning and inspection.The motor
nance
of the Shredder is maintenance free and requires no attention. For the best results the blades must be kept sharp at
all times. The blades have dramatically less cutting power
when blunt.
The Shredder will tear rather than cut when the blades are
blunt. When this occurs rotate the double sided blades or
replace the blades immediately.
WARNING
Before attempting any maintenance switch the machine off
and disconnect the power cord.
5-1. V-CUTTER MAINTENANCE
• Switch the machine off and disconnect the power cord
ensuring all moving parts are completely stopped.
• Wear gloves when attempting any maintenance to the
cutting blades.
JAMMING If blades become jammed see disassembly.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Loosen discharge chute access knobs and remove
the top cover assembly.
2. Rotate the cutter base counter clockwise and wedge
a piece of wood between the cutter base and cutting
chamber wall so as to stop the cutting base from rotating. (Fig. 5-1A)
3. Remove the center hold down bolt by turning it count-
er clockwise using a 16 mm wrench.
4. Remove the square washer, square bushing, V-cutter
to expose cutter base.

5-2. SHREDDING BLADES MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Before removing Top Hopper knob, insure the machine is
switched off, the red safety switch and extension lead is
removed and wait until the machine comes to a complete
stop.
To inspect or replace the double sided shredding blades
there is no need to remove the cutter base.To remove simply undo the counter sunk screws with the 6mm hex
wrench supplied with the machine and turn them through
180˚ These blades are double ground and can be used on
both sides. When blunt on both sides replace and insure
they are screwed in tightly.
ASSEMBLY This is carried out in the reverse sequence to
that of disassembly but with careful inspection of all components. Ensure that cutter base is assembled with the
scraping plates facing down towards the motor and that
the square washer is situated under the head of the center hold down bolt. (Fig. 5-2A)
Before replacing the top cover assembly ensure that the Vcutter is positioned as shown in (Fig. 5-2B) Replace the top
cover assembly and secure tightly the discharge chute
access knob. If discharge chute access knob are not tight
the motor will not start due to the motor lock out switch not
being activated.
