according to the instructions. Read through and become familiarized with
the following procedures of handling and adjusting your tool. Failure to
follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
STEP 1: Assembling the Wheels
1.1 Insert the wheel axle (#24) through the bottom holes of the support
leg (#25).
1.2 Slide the bushing (#49) and wheels (#23) to the end of the wheel
axle. Secure wheel with a nylon lock nut M6 (#21).
1.3 Snap the wheel cover (#20) into the wheel.
1.4 Install the wheel to the other side in the same way.
STEP 2: Assembling the Support Leg
2.1 Insert the two ends of the support leg assembly into the bottom of the
shredder housing.
STEP 3: Tighten the Support Leg

OPERATION
WARNING! Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to
the instructions. Read through and become familiarized with the following procedures of
handling and adjusting your tool. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING! Wear ANSI Z87.1-approved safety glasses, work-appropriate clothing,
work gloves, and dust mask. Read through the safety section. Do not allow any part of
the body or clothing near the feeding chute or the discharge chute. Never reach under
the hopper until the shredder has come to a complete stop and has been disconnected
from the power supply.
BASIC SHREDDING OPERATION
• Place the shredder on a dry, level ground in the upright position. Do not operate the
shredder if it is tilted or lying on its side.
• Check to make sure that the hopper is empty. Close the hopper tightly by turning the
hopper lock knob (A) clock-wise. The shredder will not run if the hopper is open or
not fully closed.

• Inappropriate materials may damage the machine and cutting blades. Examine all
materials before feeding them into the shredder:
■ Remove pieces of metal, rocks or other foreign objects that may damage the blades.
■ Do not feed wooden sticks with a diameter larger than 1.5 inch.
■ Before shredding roots, remove any remaining soil and stones.
■ Do not shred soft, damp material such as kitchen waste.
• Connect the shredder to the power source and turn the power switch to ON (B).
• Follow the rules below when feeding materials:
■ Only insert as much material as needed to prevent blockage of the feeding chute.
■ Feed wilted and damp materials alternately with dry branches to prevent cutting
blades from blocking up.
■ Branches with leaves must be completely processed before new material is fed.
Make sure that the chopped material can fall freely from the discharge chute.
■ Maintain the working speed of the shredder and do not overload it.
■ Keep a few dry branches to be shredded at the end, as they will help clean your
shredder.
NOTE: For optimal performance, we recommend shredding materials with diameters
less than 1".
NOTE: The power switch is equipped with a safety key to prevent children from
accidentally starting the machine. Turn off the power switch and remove the safety
key to engage the child-safety lock and prevent unwanted start-ups. The switch
cannot be turned on when the safety key is removed.
• Slowly insert the branch into the hopper through the feeding chute. Keep hold of the
branch at a safe distance from the feeding chute until it is automatically drawn into
the shredder.
• Use the included push stick to push the material inside the hopper, but be careful not
to shred the paddle.
• Only switch off the shredder after all of the shredding materials have passed through
the discharge chute. Otherwise, the discharge chute may jam the next time the
shredder is turned on.
• When all shredding work is complete, switch the machine to OFF and unplug the
power cord. Wait for the blades to come to a complete stop before leaving the work
area.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your electric shredder is equipped with overload protection. If the shredder is clogged
during shredding, the over-load protection will cut the power automatically to protect
your shredder. Wait at least 1 minute for the motor to cool down before restarting the unit.
To restart the shredder:
1. Press the reset button (A).
2. Turn the power switch ON (B).
3. If the shredder will not start, it might be jammed inside. Turn the shredder OFF and
unplug the power cord. Wait for the blades to come to a complete stop. Clear the
clogged materials.
