Only use the machine out-of-doors and not

close to walls or any other solid objects in

order to prevent the risk of injuries and

property damage (no escape for the user,

broken windows, scratched cars etc.).

The machine must placed in a stable

position on firm and level ground.

Make sure that you are familiar with the

On / Off switch so that you can react

quickly and correctly in any emergency

situation.

Before using the machine, check that the

shredder box is in proper condition. The

machine must not be used with a damaged

shredder box (risk of injury). A damaged

shredder box must be replaced.

Risk of injury!

Only operate the machine when properly

assembled. If parts of the machine

(e.g. wheels) are missing, the specified

safety distances are no longer maintained

and the stability of the machine may also

be reduced.

Before using the machine, always carry

out a visual check to ensure that it is in

good operating condition.

"Good operating condition" means that the

machine is fully assembled, in particular:

– Wheel carrier assembly is installed

– Both wheels and both feet are mounted

– All safety devices (inserted shredder

bag, STIHL cloverleaf opening, etc.)

must be present and functional.

The switch and safety devices installed in

the machine must not be removed or

bypassed.

4.6 Working with your machine

Never work when animals or

persons, particularly children,

are in the danger area.

Do not operate the machine in the rain or

during thunder storms, particularly when

there is a risk of lightning strike.

The risk of accidents is higher if the ground

is damp due to increased danger of

slipping.

Particular caution should be exercised

during working in order to prevent slipping.

If possible, avoid using the machine when

the ground is damp.

Only work during the day or with good

artificial light.

Keep the working area neat and tidy at all

times. Remove tripping hazards such as

stones, branches, cables etc.

The operator should not stand any higher

than the level of the base of the machine.

Do not stand in front of the discharge

opening when starting the engine or

switching on the motor. There must be no

shredding material in the garden shredder

when it is started or switched on.

Shredding material may be ejected and

lead to injuries.

The machine must not be tilted during

start-up.

Avoid switching the machine on repeatedly

within a short period of time; particularly

avoid "playing" with the On / Off switch.

Risk of motor overheating.

Owing to the voltage fluctuations caused

by this machine during the start-up, other

devices connected to the same circuit may

be subject to interference in the case of

unfavourable power supply conditions.

In this case, appropriate steps should be

taken (e.g. connection to a different circuit

than the one used by the affected device,

or operation of the machine using a circuit

with a lower impedance).

Working:

When the machine is running, never put

your face or any other part of your body

above the feed chute or in front of the

ejection opening. Always keep you head

and body away from the feed opening.

Never put your hands or any

other part of your body or

clothing into the feed chute or

ejection chute. There is a

considerable risk of injury to eyes, face,

fingers, hands etc.

Always maintain your balance and firm

footing. Do not stretch forward.

If the machine falls over during operation,

immediately switch off the motor and

disconnect the mains plug.

Risk of injury:

Shredding material may be ejected back

up during operation. Always wear safety

glasses and keep your face away from the

feed opening.

Never tilt the machine when the engine or

motor is running.

Make sure that there is no shredding

material blocking the ejection chute, as

this could result in a poor shredding

performance or kickbacks.

When feeding the garden shredder, pay

particular attention to ensuring that no

foreign objects such as bits of metal,

stones, plastic, glass, etc. get into the

shredding chamber as this could result in

damage or kickbacks from the feed chute.

Remove blockages for the same reason.

Kickbacks can occur when feeding the

garden shredder with branch material.

Wear gloves.

Beware of the cutting tool

running on for several seconds

before coming to a standstill.

Switch off the motor, disconnect

the mains plug and allow all

rotating tools to reach a complete standstill

– before leaving the machine unattended

– before repositioning, lifting, carrying,

tilting, pushing or pulling the machine

– before transporting the machine

– before removing blockages

– before checking or cleaning the

machine or before carrying out any

other work on it.

If foreign objects get into the cutting tool or

if the machine makes unusual noises or

vibrates in an unusual way, switch off the

motor immediately and allow the machine

to come to rest. Disconnect the mains plug

and perform the following steps:

– Check the machine for damage and

have any necessary repairs carried out

by a technician before restarting and

working with the machine.

– Have damaged parts replaced or

repaired by a technician; the parts must

be of similar quality.

Remove the transparent shredder box and

empty if it is completely full of shredding

material or if the filling level is preventing

shredding material from being ejected.

Before removing the shredder box, switch

off the machine and wait until the blade

roller has come to a standstill.

4.7 Maintenance and repairs

Before carrying out any

maintenance operations

(cleaning, repair, etc.) and

before checking whether the electric cable

is entwined or damaged, park the machine

on firm, level ground, switch off the motor

and disconnect the mains plug.

Leave the machine to cool down for

approx. 5 minutes before performing any

maintenance operations.

The power cable must only be repaired or

replaced by authorised electricians.

protection automatically switches off the

motor.

The garden shredder can be started up

again after a cooling period of

approx. 10 minutes.

Frequent triggering of the overload

protection may be attributable to the

following causes:

– Unsuitable electric cable (Ö 10.1)

– Power overload

– Machine overload due to excessive

quantities of shredding material

8.7 When the blade roller blocks

An overloaded motor, too much shredding

material, foreign objects or branches that

are too thick will cause the rotational

direction of the blade roller to change

automatically after a short period of time,

resulting in the blade roller coming to a

stop.

● If the blade roller stops, operate the Off

switch immediately.

● Allow the machine to cool and switch on

again as described. (Ö 10.9)

9.1 Motor restart inhibitor

The machine can only be started via the

switch and not by plugging the electric

cable into the mains socket.

9.2 Shredder box

The garden shredder can only be switched

on with the shredder box installed and

locked in place.

Once inserted, the shredder box prevents

access to the rotating blade roller during

operation.

10.1 Electrical connection of garden

shredders

Power supply and operating voltage must

correspond (see rating plate).

The power cable must be adequately

protected by fuse. (Ö 16.)

Only electric cables which are no lighter

than rubber sheathed cables

H07 RN-F DIN/VDE 0282 may be used.

The plug connections must be splash

proof. Unsuitable extension cables lead to

a loss of power and may result in damage

to the motor.

The minimum cross-section of the power

cable must be 3x1.5mm² for a length of

up to 25 m or 3x2.5mm² for a length of

up to 50 m.

The connectors of the electric cable must

be made of rubber or have a rubber

coating and conform to the DIN/VDE 0620

standard.

This machine is intended for operation with

a power supply having a system

impedance of Z

max

at the transfer point

(house connection) of maximum

0.49 Ohm (at 50 Hz).

The user must ensure that the machine is

only operated with a power supply which

meets this requirement. If necessary, this

information can be obtained from the local

electric power company.

10.2 Connecting the power cable

● Connect the mains cable

connector to mains plug (1).

● Attach the mains cable to the strain

relief. (Ö 10.4)

10.3 Disconnecting the power cable

● Detach the strain relief. (Ö 10.4)

In order to prevent damage to the power

cable, it must only be disconnected by

pulling at the connector. Never pull at the

cable.

The blade roller changes rotational

direction automatically when

overloaded.

● Insert the shredder bag. (Ö 10.5)

● Connect the machine to the mains.

(Ö 10.2)

On/off switch (1) with integrated locking

slide (2) prevents direct switching from

one rotational direction to the other.

Feed position

● Turn on/off switch (1) to the 0 position.

● Push locking slide (2) upwards.

● To start the motor, turn on/off switch (1)

to the right against spring pressure as

far as it will go to the START position.

The motor starts.

● Release the rotary switch. This returns

automatically to the I position. The

motor continues to run.

Reverse position

● Turn on/off switch (1) to the 0 position.

● Push locking slide (2) downwards.

● Turn on/off switch (1) to the left against

spring pressure as far as it will go to the
