OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND MOTOR
JAMMING Your shredder comes with Overload
Protection which is activated when wood particles jam the
blades or when material is fed into the hopper too fast. If
required follow the unjamming procedure noted below and
then press the reset button. (Fig. 3)
•
FEEDING LEAVES AND SMALL GARDEN CLIP-
PINGS - 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 dis-
charge chute. (Fig. 4)
Fig. 4
•
FEEDING TWIGS AND SMALL BRANCHES - TOP
HOPPER
The top hopper also accepts medium to larger size gar-
den clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved through the same
action as leaves and small clippings. If a finer type mulch
is required than is initially achieved, re-feed the mulch
through again until the desired result is obtained. (Fig 5).

•
SIDE CHUTE
The elongated chute located at the rear of the machine is
specially designed to accept solid garden clippings and
branches up to 40mm in diameter.
IMPORTANT: When feeding long, large diameter materi-
al, control the rate of feed by pulling back on the material
so as not to stall or overload the motor. (Fig. 6)
WARNING!Do not under any circumstances,
place hands inside the feeding chutes while
the machine is operation. Force feeding of
debris is not necessary due to the natural
suction action of the blades.

MAINTENANCE
Your Shredder has been designed for a low level of main-
tenance, involving routine cleaning and inspection. The
motor 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 cut-
ting 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.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting any main-
tenance switch the machine off and discon-
nect the power cord.
•
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.

DISASSEMBLY
1.
Loosen caging knobs and remove the top cover
assembly.
2.
Rotate the cutter base anti clockwise and place a
piece of wood between the cutter base and cutting
chamber wall so as to stop the cutting base retating.
(Fig. 8)
3.
Remove the center hold down bolt by turning it anti
clockwise using a 17mm spanner.
4.
Remove the square washer, square bush, V-cutter to
expose cutter base.

SHREDDING BLADES MAINTENANCE
To inspect or renew 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 degrees. These blades are double ground and can be
used on both sides. When blunt on both sides renew and
ensure they are screwed in tightly.
ASSEMBLY This is carried out in the reverse sequence to
that of disassembly but with careful inspection of all com-
ponents. Ensure that cutter base is assembled with the
scraping plates facing down towards the motor and that
the spring washer is situated under the head of the centre
hold down bolt. (Fig. 9)
Fig. 9
Before replacing the top cover assembly ensure that the
V-cutter is positioned as shown in (Fig.10) Replace the
top cover assembly and secure tightly the caging knobs.
If caging Knobs are not tight the motor will not start due to
the motor lock out switch not being activated.

CLEANING
After use, always wipe clean the outside of the unit to
remove any build up of material with a damp cloth. Clean
the inside of the cutting chamber and remove any left over
material, Do not hose down with water.
