SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the electric shredder. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards. Retain these instructions for reference. • The Impact Shredder is an electrical appliance using fast moving parts and as such can be dangerous if handled irresponsibly. • Ensure that no foreign objects such as stones, glass, metal, earth or plastics are fed into the shredder; these could cause blunting of the blade and seriously damage the motor. • Only use extension cables that are approved for outdoor use. Check that they are in good condition.

ASSEMBLY • Insert the Axle through the pre-drilled holes in the Foot Supports. • Insert the supports into the body of the shredder as shown. • Attach each Wheel to the Axle in the order shown below and ensure that the nut is not too tight. ( From left to right - washer, axle sleeve, wheel, washer, nut, wheel cover). Some models may not have the axle sleeve. • On the body of the machine tighten the Cover Securing Knob. This knob has a safety switch built into it and the machine will not acti- vate unless the knob is tightened. • Attach the collection bag to the machine by means of the hooks on the sides of the discharge chute. • Do not use the shredder without the hopper.

• Be alert to long leaf branches which can whip back as they are being drawn into the shredder. • Organic material which contains a large amount of water and sap can stick to the cutting blades - it is best to leave it for a few days to dry out. • To make finer compost the shredded material can be passed through a second time. • Keep the ventilation slots on the body free of dust and debris. • Do not leave the shredder running unattended; disconnect the plug when leaving or moving the machine. Blade Replacement: • The blades have two cutting edges. When the blades become worn they can be re- versed to use the second cutting edge but these should be changed by an authorised service dealer. • When both edges of the blades have become worn they must be replaced as a pair. The blades can be re-sharpened but this must be done by a professional using an oil stone. The weight of each blade is critical to maintain the balance of the cutting disc. Maintenance: • During any maintenance work ensure that the machine is switched off and disconnected from the mains. • If an extension cable is used it must be of the same grade as that fitted to the shredder. Check the cables regularly for signs of damage or wear. • Never attempt to override the overload switch - it is there for your safety. • Remove all deposited matter after use with a brush and clean the machine and all plas- tic parts with soap and a damp cloth. • Do not clean the shredder with a hosepipe or by rinsing. No water should be allowed to enter the shredder.
