FEEDING TWIGS AND SMALL BRANCHES - TOP HOP-
PER
The smaller back chute of the top Hopper accepts medium
to larger size garden clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved through the same
action as the front chute. If a finer type mulch is required
than is initially achieved, re-feed the mulch through again
until the desired result is obtained. (Fig. 12).
Do not feed solid branches through the two Top Hopper
chutes.
SIDE CHUTE
The elongated chute located at the rear of the machine is
specially designed to accept solid garden clippings and
branches up to 1-1/2" (38mm) in diameter.
IMPORTANT: When feeding long, large diameter material,
control the rate of feed by pulling back on the material so
as not to stall or overload the motor. (Fig. 13)
WARNING:
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 shredder.
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.
V-CUTTER MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
switch the machine off and disconnect the
power cord.
1. Switch the machine off and disconnect the power
cord ensuring all moving parts are completely
stopped.
2. Wear gloves when attempting any maintenance to the
cutting blades.
JAMMING if blades become jammed see disassembly.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Loosen caging knobs and remove the top cover
assembly.
2. Rotate the cutter base counter clockwise and place a
piece of wood between the cutter base and cutting
chamber wall so as to stop the cutting base rotating.
