    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.

    Check that the legs are assembled so that they 
    are angled outwards (fig. 1).
    2. Thread the wheel axle through the holes in the 
    legs and through the tube (fig. 2).
    3.  Install the wheels on the wheel axle with wash-
    ers, spacers and nuts (fig. 3). Do not tighten the 
    nuts yet.
    4. Screw the mounting plate into the front holes on 
    the leg frame using washers and long screws 
    (fig. 4). Tighten properly.
    5. Turn the motor housing upside down. 
    6.  Insert the leg frame in the opening and ensure 
    that the front nut heads go down into the holes 
    in the motor plate.
    7. Secure the leg frame to the machine with wash-
    ers and long screws (fig. 5). Do not tighten the 
    screws yet.
    8. Insert your hand in the discharge opening and 
    screw the short screw and the washer into the 
    hole (fig. 6). Tighten properly.
    9. Tighten the long screws properly.
    10.Turn the shredder and place it on a flat surface.
    11.Tighten the wheels by putting your weight on 
    the other wheel (fig. 7). Screw each wheel ap-
    proximately the same amount.
    12.Press the wheel caps onto the wheels (fig. 8)
    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 Z
    max < 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). 
    						
    							7
    ENGLISHGB
    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 0 button 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. 
    						
    							8
    ENGLISHGB
    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.
