    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
    This symbol means WARNING. Failure to 
    follow the instructions carefully may lead to 
    injury or damage.
    GENERAL
    • Study the warning stickers on the machine. Re-
    place any damaged or illegible warning stickers.
    • Read the instructions carefully. Find out what the 
    controls do and learn how to use the machine 
    correctly.
    • Never use the machine if there are people, espe-
    cially children, or animals nearby. Never let a 
    child or adult use the machine if they are not fa-
    miliar with these instructions.
    • The user is responsible for any accidents that 
    happen to other people or their property.
    PREPARATIONS
    • Wear safety gloves, safety goggles and hearing 
    protection. Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothes.
    • Keep a steady stance. Do not lean over the ma-
    chine.
    • Make sure the machine is on firm, level ground 
    before starting. Do not stand the machine on 
    gravel paths or the like. Objects that are thrown 
    out may bounce and cause damage.
    • Make sure that all nuts and bolts are securely 
    tightened before use.
    • Only use the machine in dry surroundings, never 
    outdoors in the rain.
    • Do not use the machine if it has a faulty safety 
    device or if a guard is missing.
    OPERATION
    • Avoid starting accidentally. Make sure machine 
    is switched off before plugging it in.
    • Do not feed hard objects, such as stones, bottles, 
    cans or pieces of metal into the machine. They 
    can cause damage to the blades and motor.
    • If the machine is blocked, stop the engine and un-
    plug from the mains. Remove obstruction and 
    check for damage.• Do not jerk the power lead or stretch it tight. Oth-
    erwise connections or insulation may be dam-
    aged. Such damage is invisible but dangerous.
    • Always keep the power lead clear of the ma-
    chine. Remove the plug from the socket and 
    check the lead regularly for signs of damage or 
    ageing. Replace the lead if necessary. Do not use 
    the machine if the power lead is damaged.
    • If the fuse blows or the overload cut-out trips this 
    is a sign that the machine is overloaded, or that 
    too many items are connected to the same supply. 
    Investigate the cause and correct it. Do not fit a 
    larger fuse.
    • Keep your limbs and clothes away from the feed 
    funnel and outlet.
    • Do not stand near the outlet when the machine is 
    running.
    • Keep your face and the rest of your body away 
    from the feed funnel.
    • Never move the machine by dragging the power 
    lead. Stop the motor before moving the machine.
    • Never leave the machine unattended without first 
    switching off and unplugging it.
    MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
    • Take care when cleaning or maintaining the ma-
    chine. The blades will continue to rotate for some 
    time after the motor is switched off.
    • Switch off the motor, unplug the machine and 
    wait until the blades have stopped before inspect-
    ing the machine or doing any maintenance.
    • If a foreign object strikes the blades or if the ma-
    chine sounds strange or vibrates excessively, 
    switch the motor off immediately. Unplug the 
    machine and inspect for damage. Repair or re-
    place damaged components. Tighten any loose 
    components. Do not try to repair the machine if 
    you are not sure how.
    • The manufacturers undertaking and liabilities 
    (according to product liability legislation) apply 
    solely on condition that all spare parts used are 
    approved by the manufacturer or of at least the 
    same quality.
    • Store the machine in a dry place.

    ASSEMBLY
    LEGS
    1. Turn the motor housing upside-down. Insert the 
    screws into the machine from the bottom (fig. 1).
    2. The right and left legs differ. Check that the legs 
    are attached so that they are angled outwards 
    (fig. 2).
    3. Fix the legs to the machine using washers and 
    nuts (fig. 3). Do not tighten the nuts yet.
    4. The axle components are assembled for packing 
    and transportation. Loosen the nuts, wheel 
    bushings and two washers on each side. Insert 
    the axle between the legs (fig. 4).
    5. Mount the wheels on the axles using the wash-
    ers, bushings and nuts (fig. 5). Do not tighten 
    the nuts yet.
    6. Turn the machine the right way up and stand it 
    on a level surface.
    7. Tighten all the nuts. The legs can be secured by 
    using a spanner to hold each bolt in place from 
    below while tightening the nut (fig. 6). Secure 
    each wheel by holding the one opposite in place 
    with a spanner while tightening the nut on the 
    other (fig. 7). Tighten each wheel approximate-
    ly the same amount.
    8. Snap the hub-caps onto the wheels. (fig. 8).
    FUNNEL
    Attach the funnel to the motor housing by hooking 
    it onto the front of the housing then tipping it back-
    wards. Make sure that the spring in the funnel is in-
    serted into the hole of the housing (fig. 9).
    Secure the funnel by tightening the locking knob 
    (fig. 10).
    OPERATION
    GENERAL
    This machine is designed solely for private use, not 
    for professional applications.
    The compost shredder is designed to shred organic 
    material, such as plant waste, twigs, brush, small 
    branches, etc.The shredder must not be used to mix 
    topsoil. This will destroy the blades.
    ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
    Through poor conditions of the electrical mains, 
    short voltage drops can appear when starting the 
    equipment. This can influence other equipment 
    (e.g. blinking of a lamp).
    If the mains-impedance Z
    max < 0,38+j0,24 ohm 
    such disturbances are not probable.
    Connect the machine to an earthed, single phase 
    electric socket. The circuit must be protected by a 
    13A fuse (fig. 11).
    Always use an earthed, rubber covered extension 
    lead. Use a high quality lead designed for outdoor 
    use. 
    The conductor area must be at least 3 x 1.5 mm
    2.
    The socket fitted to the lead must be of the water-
    proof type.
    We recommend that you use an earth leakage cir-
    cuit breaker that will cut off the power if anything 
    happens to the machine or the extension lead.
    If you use a portable earth leakage circuit breaker 
    this must be fitted between the electric socket and 
    the extension lead.
    The use of an earth leakage circuit breaker does not 
    guarantee your safety. Always follow the safety 
    precautions. We recommend you wear shoes with 
    thick rubber soles.
    Test the operation of the earth leakage circuit 
    breaker before use.
    STARTING THE MOTOR
    The motor will not start until the feed funnel is cor-
    rectly fitted.
    Make sure the shredder is empty before 
    you start the motor.
    Start the motor by pressing the toggle switch to set-
    ting 1 (fig. 12).
    Let the motor reach working speed before you feed 
    anything in.
    MOTOR CUT - OUT
    The shredder has a built-in motor cut-out that pre-
    vents the motor from being overloaded.
    In the event of overload the toggle switch automat-
    ically switches to the 0 setting. 
    						
    							8
    ENGLISHGB
    The motor can be restarted after leaving it to cool 
    for about 5 minutes.
    Do not start the motor, set the switch to 0, unplug 
    the machine and remove the feed funnel. Clean 
    around the blade disc (fig. 13). 
    Replace the feed funnel and restart. NOTE! A safe-
    ty switch in the motor housing prevents the motor 
    from starting if the feed funnel is not fitted
    correctly.
    STOPPING THE MOTOR
    Stop the motor by pressing the toggle switch to set-
    ting 0 (fig. 12).
    Do not feed in any material after the mo-
    tor has stopped. It will jam in the ma-
    chine and may prevent restarting.
    Unplug the machine before leaving it unattended.
    SHREDDING
    The following types of material can be shredded in 
    the shredder:
    - twigs and branches
    - waste from pruning bushes
    - waste from trimming hedges
    - plant remains and other garden waste that is 
    suitable for shredding
    To prevent damaging the machine we recommend 
    that you do not exceed the following maximum 
    sizes for twigs and branches:
    1600 W < 35 mm in diameter
    2000 W < 40 mm in diameter
    It is a good idea to place the shredder on a tarpaulin 
    or the like before shredding. This will catch shred-
    ded material and simplify clearing up.
    Feed the material you want to shred into the feed 
    funnel. If it is not too bulky it will be drawn in by 
    the blades.
    A feeder device is supplied with all shredders. The 
    feeder device is used for feeding in small twigs, 
    leafy material and vegetation. Insert the feeder de-
    vice its full length (fig. 14). Wait until the existing 
    material has been completely shredded before add-
    ing new material.
    Shredded material can be shredded a second time 
    to make finer compost.Large branches are best shredded when they are 
    fresh.
    Garden waste often contains a lot of water which 
    can cause it to stick to the shredder. It is a good 
    idea to let such material dry for a few days before 
    shredding it.
    Shredded material is ejected and collects beneath 
    the outlet. The pile soon builds up and can block 
    the outlet and stop the machine. Material may even 
    be thrown back out of the feed funnel. 
    Move the shredder or remove the pile of shredded 
    material before this can happen.
    Reverse or replace the blades regularly. Sharp 
    blades make the work much easier, especially 
    feeding in.
    Feed in loose shredded material in amounts that 
    the machine can cope with.
    Do not force large branches against the blades. 
    This overloads the motor and blades unnecessarily.
    To avoid stoppages listen to the motor. If the 
    speed drops suddenly pull back the branch and 
    wait until the speed picks up. Feed the branch in 
    gently.
    If the blades become jammed, read the safety pre-
    cautions before you open up the machine.
    Make sure there is no material left in the feed fun-
    nel when you stop the machine. The blades may 
    jam when the machine is restarted.
    Store the shredder indoors in a dry place.
    MAKING COMPOST
    You can make compost from shredded material in 
    a variety of ways:
    - Material may be laid in a heap on the ground 
    (cold composting)
    - Shredded material can be placed in a plastic bin, 
    wooden compost box, mesh container, etc. 
    (cold composting).
    - Material may be placed in an insulated compost 
    container. This keeps it warm and allows com-
    posting to continue in the winter. This method 
    gives faster results (warm composting).
    - Material can be spread straight on the garden 
    (surface composting).

    ENGLISHGB
    MAINTENANCE
    Always unplug the machine from the 
    electrical supply before carrying out ad-
    justment or maintenance.
    REPLACING THE BLADES
    The blades of the shredder have two cutting edges, 
    so they can be reversed.
    When both edges are worn the blades must be re-
    placed. Always replace with genuine replacement 
    blades.
    Replace the blades as follows:
    1. Switch off the motor and unplug the shredder. 
    Wait until the blades have stopped.
    2. Loosen the locking knob and remove the fun-
    nel.
    Always wear safety gloves when clean-
    ing or replacing the blade disc.
    3. Loosen the screws with a screwdriver. There 
    are holes in the blades to simplify this. Inserting 
    the screwdriver through these holes prevents 
    the rotary blade from turning (Fig. 15).
    4. Reverse the blades and fit them with the sharp 
    edge facing in the direction of rotation. Tighten 
    the screws securely.
    If both edges of the blades are worn, replace with 
    genuine spare parts or resharpen.
    SHARPENING BLADES
    The blades are hardened and therefore must not be 
    ground on an emery wheel.
    They should only be sharpened wet on a whetstone 
    or carborundum stone.
    To avoid imbalance the blades must be ground so 
    that each weighs exactly the same.
    CLEANING
    Always clean the compost shredder after you have 
    used it. 
    Turn off the motor and remove the plug from the 
    wall socket. Loosen the locking knob and remove 
    the funnel. Clean thoroughly round the rotary 
    blade.
    Never use water to clean the shredder!Brush off any dirt or plant remains that are stuck to 
    the blades.
    SERVICE
    Authorised service agents carry out repairs and 
    service. They use genuine spare parts. 
    Do you do basic repairs yourself? Then make sure 
    you use genuine spare parts. They fit immediately 
    and make your task easier.
    When ordering spare parts please state the model, 
    part number and serial number. This information is 
    on the rating plate on the machine.
    Do not fit any parts other than genuine 
    spare parts. This is a requirement of the 
    Swedish Testing Institute. The machine 
    has been tested and approved with these 
    parts.
    The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the 
    product without prior notice.
