Read and understand the safety instructions in this owners
manual before using your shredder. Failure to comply can
result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious
personal injury.
1.

Connect the shredder to a suitable power outlet.

2.

To start and stop the shredder, depress the switch
located at the rear of the Motor.

3.

To stop the shredder, switch to the off position. (Fig .
4-1)

JAMMING If overfeeding clogs the machine the overload
protection switch may cut out the motor. To restart, switch
the machine off and disconnect the power cord.
Loosen discharge chute access knobs and remove top
cover assembly, then remove any clogged debris from the
cutting chamber. If the top cover assembly becomes
jammed and will not lift off, turn the V-cutter by pushing a
piece of wood through the back chute of the top hopper to
rotate the V-cutter to enable the top cover assembly to be
removed. Reset motor overload protection switch. (See Fig.
4-1)

Before replacing top cover assembly ensure that the V-cut-
ter is positioned as shown in (Fig. 4-2).
Replace the top cover assembly together with the top cover
screw knob ensuring this is tight. If the top cover screw
knob is not tight the motor will not start due to the motor
lock out switch not being activated.

Place a heavy duty trash bag using the mulch bag strap.
(Fig. 4-3)

The sloping chute of the top hopper is designed to accept
leaves and small garden clippings.
Shredding and mulching is achieved by natural suction of
the debris through the blade chamber. Do not overfeed and
do not feed wet, soggy material into the garden shredder as
this may clog the blade chamber and the discharge chute.
(Fig. 4-4)

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. 4-5).
Do not feed solid branches through the two Top Hopper
chutes.

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.

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. 4-6)

Do not under any circumstances, place hands inside the
feeding chutes while the machine is operation. Force feed-
ing of debris is not necessary due to the natural suction
action of the shredder.
