    Operating instructions Preliminary checks Caution : Before commencing the work, it is recommended to get into the habit of checking the following points. Checklist 1. Satisfy yourself that the chipping blades are fi rmly in place and in good condition. For safety's sake, tighten the blade bolts.

  • Page 30: Starting And Stopping The Motor

    • If the plug of the cord does not match the one of the machine, you can order a suitable exten- sion cord from your ELIET dealer (fi nd an authorized ELIET dealer near you by visiting www. eliet.eu).

  • Page 31: Stopping The Motor

    A fault or wear to the brake may mean that the machine may need a longer braking distance, which may represent an injury risk. Therefore, always be very careful. If required, have the machine checked by your offi cial ELIET dealer.

  • Page 32: Operating The Machine

    The machine will also stop if : • You pull out the plug of the extension cord from the machine. • You slide the collection box from the machine. • You loosen the tightening button of the see-through window. Caution : Never pull the cord when disconnecting the plug.

  • Page 34 • Short truncated trunks without foliage ( ± 10 to 15 cm) represent a certain risk when chipping. When they come into the chipping chamber, they may be pulled into the blade system in an un- controlled way and without resistance. This may jam the machine. Ensure you leave branches as whole as possible when pruning.
  • Page 35 Caution : If the chipping chamber gets clogged up, switch off the machine to remove the blockage. Ensure that you do, however, wait for the blades to come to a complete standstill before carrying out any operation on the machine. Always disconnect the plug from the mains as a safety precaution.

  • Page 38: What To Do About Motor Stalling

    8 . Should the motor make an abnormal humming noise, this may point to a blockage and the issue must be further investigated or an offi cial ELIET dealer must be consulted. 9. Should the green start button immediately protrude again, this may mean that the motor is still overheated and that you should allow it to cool down.

  • Page 39: Transporting The Machine

    Transporting the machine Caution : Before transporting the machine, check whether the hinge joint for the wheel undercar- riage has been fi rmly tightened. • Do allow only responsible adults move or transport the machine. • In addition, do make sure children, persons untrained in the use of the machine or animals do not enter within 3 m radius when transporting the machine.

  • Page 45: Cleaning The Machine

    11.3.1 The importance of cleaning ELIET recommend cleaning the machine after each use. We recommend using every cleaning event to perform an inspection where you check component and machine integrity. You can, thus, intervene on time to prevent faults and failures. This will ensure that the service life of your machine is improved.

  • Page 46: What Does Cleaning Mean

    If any problems are found, fi rst conduct the necessary replacements and/or repairs. Visit your offi cial ELIET dealer. (Find an authorized ELIET dealer near you by visiting www.eliet.eu.) Cleaning the machine means more than just cleaning the outside. Open all protections so that you can also clean the concealed areas.
  • Page 47 • Stickers used to indicate safety messages that are no longer legible, must be immediately replaced. Obtain these original stickers from your ELIET dealer. (Part numbers can be found in section 7.1.) • Compressed air is a handy tool to easily blow out and, thus, clean a number of parts.

  • Page 48: Maintenance Procedures

    • Open the chipping chamber (read annex 2). Pay particular attention to the following : Garden waste chipping with the ELIET chipping system takes place in two steps. We fi rst have the contact of the blades with the garden waste when chopping takes place where the cutting block can be found.
  • Page 49 Each of these chipping actions set certain criteria that the blades must meet for optimal chipping effi ciency: A) The top of the blade, in particular, is important with regard to the primary chipping. Since the blades act as splitting blades, the cutting angle is essential because this forms the key that will cleave through the wood.

  • Page 50: Sharpening The Shredding Knives

    11.4.2 Grinding the blades. Correct and timely grinding of the chipping blades will extend blade life. (ELIET recommend the following : Grind after at least every 10 working hours.) Preparatory warnings • Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection when grinding blades. Wearing gloves is also mandatory when performing any maintenance.
  • Page 51 This will ensure for very short grinding times and you will always have the best possible cutting edge. (ELIET recommend the following : Every 10 working hours.) •...

This shaft is not symmetrically positioned with regard to the volume of the two blade discs: - On one side, there is a long protruding shaft section in which a large bore is provided that is meant for sliding on the motor shaft: This side will be referred to as follows from now on : The motor side (M)”...
  • Page 54 Remove and refi t one blade at a time. This ensures that reversal is performed in an orderly manner. TIP : There are 36 bolt connections in each blade shaft. ELIET recommend using a pneumatic ratchet wrench to quickly loosen these. Place a ring spanner on the bolt head and loosen the nut using the ratchet wrench ratchet.

  • Page 55: Work Method For Replacing The Blades

    11.4.3.2 Work method for replacing the blades New sets of blades are available form your ELIET dealer under the following part number : BU 401,100,102 • Stop the machine and disconnect the power supply extension cable from the machine.
  • Page 56 • You may not simply randomly reinstall the blades. A specifi c order needs to be respected. • Number the blade positions on the blade disc from 1 to 6 to ensure mistakes cannot be made. Start numbering with the right blade position that shows a notch and number clock- wise (as viewed from the tightening side).

  • Page 57: Lubricating Or Replacing The Nylon Bearing

    • Follow the same procedure for the second blade plate. • Perform a check to verify whether the blades have been installed correctly: Ap- ply the following rules : 1. All blades (2 per blade disc that have been positioned at an angle on the blade disc and are oriented towards the wall of the chipping chamber must always be pointing with their back (R)
  • Page 58 The blade shaft is retained in its position by a nylon sleeve bearing that is mounted in the window cover to limit the blade shaft to move and to ensure that the blades do not touch the chipping chamber. When there is no load, the blade shaft will not come into contact with the sleeve bearing.

  • Page 59: Replacing The Screw Of The See-Through Window

    • Ensure you do not lose the spring when you remove the bolt. (Should you lose it, the part Nr is BV 902 030 010.) • Order the bolt with number BR 930 010 200 and the lock clip with number BD 010 000 100 at your authorized ELIET dealer .

  • Page 71: B3 Removing The Blade Shaft

    Removing the blade shaft • Always switch off the machine and disconnect the extension cord from the machine prior to removing the blade shaft. Caution : You will come in contact with the blades when performing this maintenance. They may be razor sharp and, therefore, there is a real danger of injuring your hands.
  • Page 72 • Tighten the bolt further whilst releasing the conical clamp fi xing coupling the blade shaft to the motor shaft. Once some stress is put on the bolt, axially hit the bolt head with a hammer. This impact can be suffi cient to loosen the clamping. If this is not the case, repeat this proce- dure until the is released.
