5. When feeding material into the
shredder, position yourself behind
the unit and away from the
discharge chute as shown in
figure 5 & 6.
6. Use the main feeder to shred
bulk materials such as hedge and
grass clippings, leaves, vines,
peelings, cardboard and
newspapers. (Fig. 5)
Use the side feeder for twigs and
branches up to one inch in
diameter after they have been
prunned. (See Fig. 6)
7. Remove any soil or stones from
materials before shredding to
prevent damage or duliing of
blades.
8. The shredder Is equipped with
an integral overload switch to
protect the motor from
damage. If overload occurs, the
shredder will automatically be
switched off. It can then be
switched on again after a cool
down period of one or two
minutes.
If the motor continues to turn
itself off it Is an Indication that
the shredder is jammed. If this
occurs, follow this procedure:
a. Make sure the shredder is
switched OFF.
b. Disengage cord interlock.
c. Loosen cover screw and remove
the cover (See Fig. 7).
d. Carefully clean out all material left
in the shredder. WARNING:
Blades are sharp and may cause
injury even when not moving.
e. Replace cover and tighten cover
screw.
f. Make sure switch is OFF and
reconnect cord interlock.
9. The shredder will slow down if
large amounts of material are
quickly fed into it. If this occurs
allow the shredder time to clear
itself before feeding any additional
materials.
10. Do not allow shredded material
to build up in the discharge
chute, this may prevent proper
discharge and can result in
kickback of material through the
feed opening.
