2. Check that the nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
Removing Blockages
1. Use the provided Allen key to release the 4 Allen screws on the housing cover.
2. Remove the housing cover. This may require light shaking movements.
3. Always switch the product off, disconnect it from the power supply and let the product cool down before opening the cutter housing.
Always wear protective, heavy gloves and use protective safety equipment when performing blade maintenance.
4. Remove any blockages.
5. Re-install the housing cover. Make sure the housing cover is fitted correctly so that the
blade shaft, the pressure plate rod and the 4 recesses for the Allen screws are all correctly aligned and fit smoothly into the recesses on the housing cover.
Ensure that the cutting pressure plate is positioned correctly.
6. Secure the housing cover firmly with the 4 Allen screws.
NOTE: The housing cover is safety interlocked, the shredder will not operate if it is not replaced correctly.

FAQ
The pressure plate is used in the silent shredder to finely adjust the cutting blade gap and to improve cutting performance as the cutting blade and pressure plate wears.
During adjustment, the pressure plate can be moved towards or away from the rotating cutting blade.
To improve cutting performance, the pressure plate is moved towards the rotating cutting blade.
Also, the pressure plate can be moved away from the cutting blade to help clear blockages.
The cutting blade may continue to rotate for a few seconds after switching off the shredder.
1. Ensure the shredder inlet is free from material to be shredded.
2. Start the shredder by turning the switch clockwise. This is the direction required to shred material.
3. The shredder blade should rotate freely; it has a low speed of rotation only once per second.
4. Slowly rotate the cutting blade adjustment knob clockwise a 1/2 turn. The pressure plate is advanced towards the blade while the blade is moving.
5. If the cutting blade continues to rotate without a grinding noise, advance another 1/2 turn.
6. There will be an audible grinding noise when the pressure plate is being cut by the blade.
Your shredder is now correctly set up for a good cut. There should be small aluminium shavings from the pressure plate in the collection box.
Check cutting performance by feeding a woody branch into the shredder. It should be cut through correctly into pieces approximately 3cm in length.
In the event of the shredder being overloaded, e.g. due to branches that are too thick, the shredder may switch off automatically.
Overload protection will be activated in the following circumstances:
- a build-up of shredded material around the cutting blade.
- the material being shredded is greater than the motor capacity.
- when there is too much resistance against the cutting blade.
To reset the shredder: Turn the operation mode selection switch to the middle ‘OFF’ position and press the reset switch. Remove the blockages if necessary. Switch on the shredder again.
