3. Use the paddle to push the material inside if needed.
mWARNING! Never put your hands into the hopper
while the wood chipper + shredder is running. Always use the
paddle supplied with your shredder to push items into the
hopper.
4. Only insert as much material as needed to prevent
blockage of the feeding funnel. Chop garden waste that
has been stored for a few days and is wilted and damp
alternately with dry branches. This prevents the cutting
blades from blocking up. Branches with leaves must be
completely chopped before new material is fed. Make sure
that the chopped material can fall freely from the ejection
slot.
5. Keep hold of branches while feeding them into the wood
chipper + shredder until they are automatically drawn in.
6. Keep to the working speed of the wood chipper +
shredder and do not overload it.
7. To protect the wood chipper + shredder from clogging,
shred wilted garden waste that has been left to dry for a
few days and shred thin twigs alternately with branches.
8. Before you shred roots, remove any remaining soil and
stones from them.
9. Do not shred soft, damp material such as kitchen waste;
take it straight to be composted.
10. Keep a few dry branches for the end, as they will help
clean the wood chipper + shredder.
11. Only switch the wood chipper + shredder o after all of
the shredding material has passed through the ejection
slot. Otherwise, the discharge chutes may jam the next
time when the shredder is turned on.
Overload Protection
Your electric wood chipper + shredder is designed with
overload protection. If the shredder is clogged during
shredding, the overload protection will cut the power
automatically to protect your shredder. Wait at least 1 minute
before restarting the unit when the power is cut.
1. To restart the wood chipper + shredder, rst press the
reset button (Fig. 10).
2. Then, push the reverse end of the forward/reverse switch,
and press the On button (Fig. 7). The shredder will push
the jammed branches back from the feeding funnel.
3. After all the jammed branches are pushed out, you can
restart the machine following the instructions in Starting +
Stopping section.
Care + Maintenance
mATTENTION! Before performing any cleaning or
maintenance, disconnect the unit from the power supply.
mWARNING! Always wear gloves when cleaning and
maintaining.
Cleaning
1. Always clean the wood chipper + shredder immediately
after use. Use only a warm damp cloth and a soft brush to
