SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the electric shredder. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards. Retain these instructions for reference. • The Silent Shredder is an electrical appliance using fast moving parts and as such can be dangerous if handled irresponsibly. • Ensure that no foreign objects such as stones, glass, metal, earth or plastics are fed into the shredder; these could cause blunting of the blade and seriously damage the motor. • Only use extension cables that are approved for outdoor use. Check that they are in good condition.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS This shredder is designed for cutting fibrous and woody garden waste. Ensure that the correct extension cable is used. For cables up to 25metres long, a cross section of at least 3 x1.5m ² is required; for cables more than 25 metres long the cross section must be at least 2.5m ². An extension cable with a cross section that is too small causes a distinct reduction in the performance. Use a receptacle under the debris chute to collect the shredded material. On/Off Switch: • Press the green button to switch the shredder on. • Press the red button to switch off. • Note: the machine is equipped with a safety device to prevent it automatically switching itself on after a power failure. Rotational Direction Switch: The rotational direction switch can only be operated when the shredder is switched off. • Position 1 - the cutting gear will draw the material into the hopper and shred it. • Position 0 - the cutting gear operates in a reverse direction and jammed material is freed. Overload Protection: • In order to protect the motor, the overload protection will activate after a few seconds if there is a blockage and will cut off the machine automatically. • Wait at least a minute before restarting - press the Reset button and the the On/Off switch. If necessary switch to reverse to free any blockage. Hints and Tips: • Standing at the rear of the machine, feed the material into the right side of the hopper - the material will be pulled in automatically. • Care: Longer material may oscillate when being pulled in by the cutting mechanism • Do not fill with too much material at once so as to avoid the risk of blockage.
MAINTENANCE Adjusting the Cutting Mechanism Occasionally it may be necessary to adjust the cutting mechanism. The distance between the cutting gear B and the cutting plate A should be between 0.50 and 1.00mm. On the right hand side of the shredder ( looking from the back) there is an adjusting device. Using the hex key supplied insert and turn clockwise half a turn (0.50mm) so that bolt C moves toward the cutting plate (A). After adjusting test the machine with varying thicknesses of material and re-adjust if necessary. Bear in mind that the two cutting mechanisms should NOT touch. Keep air vents clean and free from dust. Use only a damp cloth to clean the machine and do not spray water on the shredder. Detergents and solvents can cause irreparable damage and chemicals can destroy the plastic housing. Check the tightness of screws and bolts from time to time. A few drops of oil on the cutting mechanism will help protect from corrosion.
