Functional description

The silent shredder is equipped with a
powerful motor, overload protection,
and restart prevention for additional
safety. A blade cylinder system is used
for cutting, which works extremely quietly
and automatically draws in the shredding
material. A 60L transparent collector box is
convenient for handle the debris and check
the capacity. The sturdy chassis ensures a
stable standing position with good mobility.
Refer to the following descriptions for a
functional description of the controls.

** The max. branch thickness that can be

chaffed is dependent on the type of
wood and the quality of the goods being
cut.
For hard wood (e.g. oak/beech
branches), the max. branch thickness
that can be chaffed is less than for soft
wood (e.g. pine/spruce wood). For
dry or knotted wood, the cutting
thickness may also be less.

General notes on
safety

• Never allow children,
persons with limited
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or inadequate
experience and knowledge
or persons unfamiliar with
the instructions to operate the
machine. Children must be
supervised to prevent them
from playing with the device.

• Local regulations or bylaws
may determine the minimum
age for using the shredder.

• Cleaning and maintenance

7

GB IE NI

must not be performed by
children.

Observe noise control
and local regulations.

Caution! When using
the device, observe
the following basic
safety measures for the
prevention of electric
shocks and the risk of
injury and fire:

Preparation:

• Never use the shredder with
other persons or animals
nearby.

• Wear hearing and eye
protection at all times when
using the shredder.

• Wear appropriate protective
clothing such as protective
gloves, firm footwear and
long trousers. Do not wear
loosely fitting clothes or
clothes with dangling cords
or belts. Do not operate
the machine barefoot or in
sandals.

• Only use the shredder in
the open (that is, away
from walls or other
rigid structures) on a

8

firm, level surface. Only
use the machine in the
recommended position.

• Do not use the machine on
a paved, gravelled area,
which could be damaged
by ejected material.

• Before you start up the
shredder, check that all of
the nuts, bolts and other
fastenings are tight. Covers
must be fastened properly
and in good working order.
Replace any damaged or
illegible stickers.

• Always inspect the
connection and extension
cables for signs of damage
or aging before use. If
the cable is damaged
during use, it must be
disconnected immediately
from the mains supply. DO
NOT TOUCH THE CABLE
BEFORE ISOLATED FROM
THE NETWORK. Do not
use the machine if the cable
is damaged or worn.

• Only use replacement parts
and accessories supplied

GB IE NI

and recommended by the
manufacturer. Using third­party parts will immediately
invalidate the guarantee.

• Do not leave the shredder
working unattended and
keep it in a dry place out of
children’s reach.

• Only connect the shredder
to a properly earthed mains
power supply. Make sure
that the extension cable
and socket are properly
earthed.

• While being used in the
open, connect the shredder
to a residual current (RC)
circuit breaker with a trip
current of not more than 30
mA.

the machine has been
disconnected from the
power supply and the
dangerous moving parts
have come to a complete
standstill.

• Avoid an abnormal posture.
When feeding material,
never stand on a higher
level than the plane of the
base of the machine.

• Do not stand in the ejection
area while operating the
machine.

• When feeding material into
the machine, be extremely
careful not to introduce
pieces of metal, stones,
bottles, cans, or other
foreign objects.

Working with the device:

• Make sure that the funnel
feeder is empty before you
start the shredder.

• Keep your head, hair and
body away from the intake
opening.

• Do not touch dangerous
moving parts before

• Never operate the machine
with defective protective
devices or shields or
without safety devices (such
as the attached collection
box) or with a damaged or
worn cable.

• Turn off the machine before
attaching or removing the
collection box.

GB IE NI

• Avoid an abnormal posture.
Always keep your balance
in order to always have a
secure footing on slopes.

• Do not use the shredder
in the rain and in bad
weather, especially when
there is danger of lightning.
Work in daylight or under
good lighting conditions.

• Do not operate the shredder
when you are tired or
distracted, or under the
influence of alcohol or
medication. Always take a
break when you need one.

• Switch the shredder off
and pull the plug under the
following circumstances.
Make sure all moving parts
have completely stopped.

- when you are not using the
device,

- transporting it or leaving it
unattended;

- before releasing a jammed
blade.

- when you are checking
the device, cleaning it or
removing blockages;

- when you are carrying out
cleaning or maintenance
work or replacing
accessories;

- Before moving or lifting the
shredder.

• Do not allow shredded
material to accumulate near
the ejection area. This may
otherwise hinder proper
ejection and force the
material back up through
the feeder.

• Do not transport or tip the
shredder with the motor
running.

• Keep hands, other body
parts and clothing out of
the filling chamber and
ejection channel and away
from other moving parts.

• In the event of blockages
in the machine intake or
ejection, switch off the
motor and disconnect
the machine from the
mains before removing
leftover material in the
intake opening or ejection
channel. Ensure that the

10

GB IE NI

motor is free of rubbish
and other accumulations
in order to safeguard the
motor from damage or
possible fire. Remember
that the cutting tool is also
activated when the starting
mechanism is started on a
motor operated machine.

• Immediately switch off the
power source and wait
until the machine has
completely stopped, if the
cutting mechanism hits a
foreign object, or if the
machine starts to make
unusual noises or vibrate.
Disconnect the machine
from the mains and take
the following steps before
restarting and operating the
machine:

1) check for damage;

2) replace or repair

damaged parts;

3) check for loose parts

and tighten them.

CAUTION! The following
states how damage to
the device and possible
injury to people can be
avoided:

• Clean the ventilation slits
regularly; keep to the
maintenance instructions.

• Do not overload your
device. Work only within
the indicated range of
performance. Do not
employ any low power
machines for heavy work.
Do not use your device for
purposes for which it has
not been designed.

• Only switch the shredder
off once the funnel feeder
is completely empty since
the shredder may otherwise
clog up and not be able to
start afterwards.

• Do not attempt to repair the
shredder yourself unless
you are qualified to do so.
Any work not specified in
this manual may only be
carried out by our service
centre.

Electrical safety

CAUTION! The following
states how to avoid
accidents and injuries
due to electric shock:

• Use the tension relief
provided for the fixing of
the extension cord.

• Damaged cables, coupling
and plugs or connecting
leads not corresponding to
specifications, must not be
employed. Remove the plug
immediately from the plug
socket in case of damage
to the mains cable.

Do not touch the mains

power supply cable under
any circumstances until you
have pulled the plug out of
the mains socket.

• If the power cable for this
equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer
service agent of the same
or a similarly qualified
person in order to prevent
hazards.

• Do not use the appliance if
the on/off switch does not
work properly. Always have
a damaged switch repaired
by our Service Centre.

• Only use extension cables
that have been approved
for outdoor use and are
resistant to splash water.
The core diameter for
extension cables measuring
up to 25 m must be at least
3 x 1.5 mm², and 3 x 2.5
mm² for cables longer than
25m.

Always roll the whole cable

off the reel before use.

Check the cable for

damage.

• Do not unplug the shredder
by the cable.

Keep the cable away from

heat, oil and sharp edges.

• Keep the extension cable
away from moving
dangerous parts to avoid
damage to cables, which
may cause contact with live
parts.
