HSS Hire 62814 Operating & Safety Manual

Whichever you are using...
Connect the power supply lead to the machine.
Place the unit on firm level ground, away from
structures which could be damaged by flying debris, a
green house for example.
Either position the collection box under the
machines base or hook the collection bag on to
the outlet port to catch the waste.
All that remains is to plug the shredder into its
power supply and switch the supply ON.
BASIC TECHNIQUES
Switch the unit ON and wait until the motor reaches
full speed.
Micro Safety Switches
If the motor fails to start, unplug it from the
power supply. Check that the collection box/bag is
fitted correctly as micro switches prevent the unit
working if the box/bag is incorrectly positioned.
There are also micro switches which are closed by
the hopper unit, if the hopper is loose or
opened/removed.
When shredding, listen to the motor. If it starts to
slow you are probably expecting it to shred too large a
quantity of waste at a time. Simply reduce the feed rate.
The tougher the material being shredded, the
thinner it should be. At most, the shredder will handle
green stalks up to 45mm in diameter.
Normal garden waste and small twigs can be fed
in to the hopper in bunches. Feed thicker items one
at a time.
Let go of the waste before it is pulled into the
machine.
NEVER shred matter containing stones, nails, wire
and glass etc.
If the shredder becomes clogged follow these
instructions.
SABO...
Switch OFF and unplug from the power supply,
then wait for moving parts to stop.
Open the hopper (it' s secured by two screw-knobs),
then wearing gloves, clean out the interior, taking
care not to cut yourself on the cutters.
Finally, close the lid, seating its guide pin in the hole in
the shredder' s base and re-tighten the retaining
screw-knobs.
Makita...
Switch the motor OFF and change the direction of
rotation. Switch the motor back ON, and run for a
minute. Switch OFF then restart with the blade rotating
in the normal way.
If the blockage will not clear, switch OFF and
unplug the unit. Remove the two hopper bolts
followed by the hopper its self. Wearing gloves and
making sure you do not touch the cutters, clear the
opening and the hopper. Re-fit the hopper
ensuring the bolts are securely fitted.
Caution
Shredders use sharp cutters operating at high
speed. NEVER use a shredder with guards
removed or cutters exposed. NEVER put your
hands, or anything you don't want shredded,
into the inlet or outlet ports.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease, assume you have the wrong size or type of shredder
for the job. Ask at your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Empty the collection box/bag regularly, Switch the
unit OFF and isolate from the supply before removing the
box/bag.
Keep the equipment clean, you will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
FINISHING OFF
Switch the unit OFF and wait for moving parts to stop,
then unplug the unit from its power supply.
Empty the collection box/bag and give the unit a
final clean. Neatly coil its power supply cable ready
for return to your local HSS Hire Shop.
