SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This symbol indicates WARNING.

Personal injury and/or damage to property

may result if the instructions are not

followed carefully.

GENERAL

• Study the warning stickers on the machine.

Replace damaged or illegible warning stickers.

• Please read through these instructions carefully.

Learn all the controls and the correct use of the

machine. Keep these instructions.

• Never use the machine if others, particularly

children or animals, are in the vicinity. Anyone

who is not aware of these regulations may not use

the machine. Never let children use the machine.

• The user is responsible for accidents that happen

to other people or their property.

PREPARATIONS

• Wear protective gloves, protective glasses and

hearing protectors. Avoid loose clothing.

• Always stand steadily and in balance. Do not

stretch towards the machine. Never stand at a

higher level than the machine during use.

• During use, the machine should be flat and on a

firm surface.

• Ensure that all screws and nuts are properly

tightened before use.

• Only use the machine in dry conditions and never

outdoors when it is raining.

• Never use the machine with damaged safety

devices or without protection.

USING THE MACHINE

• Hard objects such as stones, bottle, cans or pieces

of metal must not be fed into the feeding hopper.

This can cause damage to the machine.

• If the machine becomes blocked, stop the motor

and disconnect the plug. Pull out any objects and

check for damage.

• Do not tug on the connection cable. Do not hold

the cable taught. This can cause damage in the

plugs or in the cable’s insulation. Such damage is

invisible but can be dangerous.

• Always keep the connection cable away from the

machine. Disconnect the plug from the electric

socket and check the cable regularly for signs of

damage or ageing. Do not use the machine with a

damaged connection cable.

• If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an

authorised service dealer in order to avoid a

hazard.

• If the fuse blows or if the overload protection is

triggered, this is a sign that the machine is

overloaded and/or that two many appliances are

connected to the same lead. Check the cause and

remedy. Do not install a more powerful fuse.

• Keep hands, other parts of your body and clothing

away from the feeding hopper and the discharge

chute. Never wear loose clothing or clothes with

belts or straps when using the machine.

• Keep away from the discharge zone when starting

the motor.

• Do not allow the pile of processed material to

build up inside the discharge chute. This blocks

new material and can cause the machine to change

its direction of rotation.

• Keep your face and the rest of your body away

from the feeding hopper.

• Never move the machine by pulling the cable.

The machine must not be moved with the motor

running.

• Do not leave the machine unsupervised, but first

switch off the motor and disconnect the plug.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• During cleaning and maintenance, wear

protective gloves to avoid injury.

• Switch off the motor and disconnect the plug

before carrying out checks or maintenance on the

machine.

• If a foreign object comes into contact with the

spiral cutter or if the machine produces an

abnormal noise level or abnormal vibrations,

switch off the motor immediately. Disconnect the

plug and check for any damage.

• The manufacturer’s obligations and liability

(according to the Product Liability Act) only

apply on the condition that only spare parts

approved by the manufacturer are used.

• Store the machine in a dry place.

• When, after many years of service, your machine

needs to be replaced or is no longer required, we

recommend that the machine is returned to your

distributor for recycling.

USING THE MACHINE

GENERAL

This machine is only intended for private use, not

to be used professionally.

The compost shredder is designed to shred organic

material such as dry plant residue, twigs, sticks and

branches.

TRANSPORT

Take great care during transport and when the

machine is to be lifted. Lift the machine by taking

a firm grip of the legs by the mounting to the motor

housing, under the compost shredder, and lift

carefully. Never lift the machine using the cover.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Only use the machine with the cable supplied with

your shredder.

If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an

authorised service dealer.

Connect the machine to a single phase electric

socket with a protective conductor (earth). The

electric circuit should be fused with a 10A inert

fuse.

You are recommended to use an earth leakage

circuit breaker which interrupts the current in the

event of something happening to the machine or

connection cable.

If a portable earth leakage circuit breaker is used,

it should always be placed between the electric

socket and the connection cable.

Even if an earth leakage circuit breaker is used,

safety cannot be guaranteed. Always follow the

safety instructions provided. Ideally wear shoes

with thick rubber soles.

Test the operation of the earth leakage circuit

breaker before each use.

In the event of unfavourable electrical mains

conditions, brief voltage drops can occur when you

start the apparatus which can affect other

appliances (e.g. causing lights to flicker).

With a mains impedance of Zmax < 0,30+j0,19

ohm, such disturbances are unlikely.

STARTING THE MOTOR

Ensure that the shredder is empty

before starting the motor.

Start the motor by first turning the control

anti-clockwise and then turning on the

main switch (1) (fig. 9).

ENGLISH GB

CHANGING DIRECTION OF

ROTATION

Never turn the twist switch when

the motor is running!

Change the direction of rotation as below.

See fig. 9:

1. Stop the motor by pushing the red knob “0”.

2. Wait until the spiral cutter has stopped.

3. Set the twist switch in the desired position.

4. Start as above.

MOTOR PROTECTION

The shredder is equipped with a built-in motor

protection which prevents the motor being

overloaded.

In the event of overloading, the main switch is

turned off automatically. The current is broken.

After 5 minutes of cooling, the motor can be

started again.

AUTOMATIC CHANGE IN

DIRECTION OF ROTATION

In the event of a sudden blockage, the machine can

automatically change the direction of rotation.

This causes the material to be fed back.

• switch off the machine.

• wait until the spiral cutter has stopped

• start the machine again and use material which

can be processed more easily.

STOPPING THE MOTOR

Stop the motor by pushing the red knob

“0”. See fig. 9.

Do not feed in any material after the

motor has been stopped. This will get

caught in the machine and can make

restarting impossible.

Disconnect the plug if the machine is to be left

unsupervised.

EMERGENCY STOP

In order to stop the machine quickly, e.g. in an

emergency, press the 0button on the main switch.

DISCONNECT SWITCH

The machine is equipped with a disconnect switch.

This means that the main switch is automatically

disconnected in the event of a loss of current. The

machine can be started again by reconnecting the

plug and turning on the main switch.

SHREDDING

The following types of material can be shredded in

the compost shredder:

- twigs and branches

- waste from cutting bushes.

- waste from hedge-trimming.

- plant parts and other garden waste which is

suitable for shredding.

Examples of materials which are not suitable for

shredding include:

- glass, paper, metal, plastic bags, stones, fabric,

earth-covered roots.

- waste that does not have a firm consistency, e.g.

kitchen waste.

To prevent damage to the machine, you are

recommended not to exceed the following

maximum sizes of twigs and branches:

< 40 mm in diameter.

Feel free to stand the shredder on a tarpaulin or

similar before shredding. This will catch the

shredded material and make removal easier.

The material that is to be shredded is fed into the

feeding hopper and, assuming it is not too bulky,

automatically pulled down through the slowly

rotating spiral cutter to the blades.

Branches and twigs should be shredded shortly

after being cut. They become extremely hard when

they dry out, and the maximum diameter of what

can be shredded is reduced.

A large proportion of garden waste contains a lot

of water and therefore sticks easily. Such material

should be allowed to dry for a few days before

being processed.

Store the shredder indoors in a dry place.

COMPOSTING

The processed material can be composted in

various ways:

- The material can be placed in a heap directly on

the ground (cold composting).

- The material can be placed in a plastic

container, wooden crate, skeleton container or

similar (cold composting).

- The material can be placed in an insulated

compost holder. The heat is then held for longer

and the rotting process also continues during

the winter. This method produces faster results

(warm composting).

- The material can be spread directly onto the

garden (surface composting).

ADJUSTMENT OF COUNTERHOLD/

BLADE

The cutting mechanism comprises a rotating blade

and a counterhold. For optimum grinding, the gap

between blade and counterhold should be 0 mm.

The gap is adjusted during manufacture and does

not need to be adjusted when the machine is used

for the first time.

If the grinding results deteriorate after a period of

use, the counterhold can be adjusted as described

below.

The engine should always be running

when adjusting the counterhold.

The machine should always be feeding

downwards when adjusting the counter-

hold.

Adjusting the counterhold:

1. Angle the auger downwards and start the

machine.

2. See fig. 10. Turn the adjusting screw slowly

clockwise using the Allen key supplied.

3. Stop turning when a scraping sound starts to be-

come audible and fine aluminium shavings drop

out through the discharge opening.

4. The gap between blade and counterhold is now

0 mm again and optimum grinding results will

be achieved.

MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the plug from the

electric socket before any maintenance.

Always wear protective gloves to avoid

injury.

Generally speaking, compost shredders require

very little maintenance. In order to maintain the

efficiency of the machine and to achieve a long

service life, observe the following:

• keep the air openings clean and free of obstructing

material.

• check the customer-installed nuts and screws

(tighten if necessary).

• spray the spiral cutter after each use with an

environmentally-friendly, biodegradable spray oil

to protect against corrosion.

CLEANING

Always clean the compost shredder after each use.

Never use a high-pressure washer or

running water when cleaning the

shredder!

Brush away dirt and plant residue which may be

caught in the spiral cutter. Wipe clean the outside

of the shredder with a cloth which has been

moistened with a mild detergent and water.

SERVICE

Authorised service stations carry out repairs and

servicing. They use genuine spare parts.

Under no circumstances may parts

other than genuine spare parts be used.

This is a requirement stipulated by the

Testing Authority. The machine is

approved and tested with these parts.

If the machine requires servicing,

repairs or maintenance which entail

dismantling of the cover, this must be

performed by an authorised service

station.

The manufacturer reserves the right to make

alterations to the product without prior

notification.
