If a portable earth leakage circuit breaker (e.g.<br />
STIGA, order no. 8290-9010-01) is used, it should<br />
always be placed between the electric socket and<br />
the connection cable.<br />
Even if an earth leakage circuit breaker is used,<br />
safety cannot be guaranteed. Always follow the<br />
safety instructions provided. Ideally wear shoes<br />
with thick rubber soles.<br />
Test the operation of the earth leakage circuit<br />
breaker before each use.<br />
In the event of unfavourable electrical mains<br />
conditions, brief voltage drops can occur when you<br />
start the apparatus which can affect other<br />
appliances (e.g. causing lights to flicker).<br />
With a mains impedance of Z max < 0,35 ohm, such<br />
disturbances are unlikely.<br />
STARTING AND STOPPING THE<br />
MOTOR<br />
Ensure that the grinder is empty before<br />
starting the motor.<br />
1. See fig. 2. Connect the electric cable to the power<br />
socket (M).<br />
2. Start the motor by pressing in the green start<br />
button (K).<br />
3. Stop the motor by pressing in the red stop button<br />
(L).<br />
4. Disconnect the connection cable from the power<br />
socket.<br />
MOTOR PROTECTION<br />
The grinder is equipped with built-in motor protection<br />
which prevents the motor being overloaded.<br />
In the event of blockage, the current is cut after a<br />
few seconds and the motor stops.<br />
Always disconnect the plug from the<br />
electric socket before opening the casing.<br />
Corrective action in the event of overloading:<br />
1. Disconnect the connection cable so that the<br />
grinder is not powered.<br />
2. Open the casing (A) by releasing the knob (E).<br />
3. Remove the jammed material.<br />
4. Close the casing and tighten the knob.<br />
5. Wait for at least one minute after the motor has<br />
stopped.<br />
6. Connect the connection cable and reset the motor<br />
protection by pressing the reset button (J).<br />
EMERGENCY STOP<br />
In order to emergency stop the machine, press the<br />
red pushbutton (L).<br />
DISCONNECT SWITCH<br />
The machine is equipped with a disconnect switch.<br />
This means that the main switch is automatically<br />
disconnected in the event of a loss of current. The<br />
machine can be started again by reconnecting the<br />
plug and turning on the main switch.<br />
INTERLOCK<br />
The grinder is equipped with an electric interlock,<br />
which prevents the motor from starting when the<br />
casing is open.<br />
The interlock must never be tampered<br />
with. Risk of serious injury.<br />
The interlock consists of the pin (D), which affects<br />
an integrated switch.<br />
Always tighten the knob (E) fully when closing the<br />
casing so that the pin affects the switch correctly.<br />
GRINDING<br />
The following types of material can be ground in<br />
the compost grinder:<br />
- twigs and branches<br />
- waste from cutting bushes.<br />
- waste from hedge-trimming.<br />
- plant parts and other garden waste which is<br />
suitable for grinding.<br />
Examples of materials which are not suitable for<br />
grinding include:<br />
- glass, metal, plastic bags, stones, fabric, earthcovered<br />
roots.<br />
- waste that does not have a firm consistency, e.g.<br />
kitchen waste.<br />
To prevent damage to the machine, you are<br />
recommended not to exceed the following<br />
maximum sizes of twigs and branches:<br />
< 40 mm in diameter.<br />
Feel free to stand the grinder on a tarpaulin or<br />
similar before grinding. This will catch the ground<br />
material and make removal easier.<br />
Branches and twigs should be ground shortly after<br />
being cut. They become extremely hard when they<br />
dry out, and the maximum diameter of what can be<br />
ground is reduced.<br />
