GENERAL POINTS ON SHREDDING

AND COMPOSTING

With the shredder, you have acquired a machine

which helps you break down organic waste from

your house and garden. This waste, when broken

down, is best used as compost for the biological

fertilisation of your garden, producing a rich hu-

mus.

The large unpleasant-looking heap of waste in the

corner of your garden will disappear, since shred-

ding the accumulated organic waste reduces its-

volume by almost two-thirds. After a few months,

the natural decom position process of the shred-

ded material will produce a rich, healthy humus,

sparing you laborious shifting of the compost.

The very short duration of this process is made

possible by the numerous ruptures resulting from

the shredding process, which provide excellent

points of attack for the micro-organisms. For the

growth of leaves, flowers, fruits and roots, plants

need important nutri tive elements, which they

en

General points on shredding and composting

18 456251

draw chiefly from the soil. This extraction of food

is reduced to a minimum by the return of organic

humus naturally to the soil.

Organic fertilisers are decomposed in the soil by

bacteria, and are transfor med into the important

nutrients absor bed by the plants.

Humus regulates the water-balance in the fertile

topsoil, allows for sufficient aeration of the soil and

facilitates growth of roots.

Well-fertilised soil produces better growth and a

richer harvest. When used in conjunction with

good, systematic rotation, humus can in many ca-

ses prevent soil fatigue.

Proper shredding material

Organic substances, when shredded and mixed

into the soil, become biological fertilisers and

make excellent compost.

Organic substabce include e.g.: branches, twigs,

shrubs, flowerstalks, vegetable waste, leaves, pa-

per, cardboard ets.

ADVICE

Do not shred:

Roots of any kind with soil and sto-

nes attached (will damaged the cut-

ters), plastic materials, plastic bags,

glass, metal objects, bones, box-

wood, rags etc..

Garden waste with a high seed con-

tent is not suitable for suface com-

posting!

Feeding

Always switch on the motor prior to feeding mate-

rial into the shredder.

Use Top Feed for:

Twigs, branches, shrubs up to 13 mm Ø

Vegetable and flower waste, paper, card-

board

Paper and cardboard:

Do not fold too thickly when feeding into the

funnel. Should be fed in try.

CAUTION!

Remove metal clips and staples

from cardboard before shredding.

Do not feed in colour publication,

mail order catalogues etc., as these

contain substances which are unsui-

table for composting.

Garden and kitchen waste with a high water con-

tent, for example vegetable leaves, flowerstalks

etc. tend to stick, and can clog the ejector slot and

block the motor. Allowing waste of this kind to dry

for a few days will make shredding easier.

Several single twigs at a time may be fed in

through top funnel.

Use SIDE FEED for:

All branches up to approx. 35 (40) mm Ø.

Save the thinner twigs at the end of the

branch for top feed.

CAUTION!

When the cutters are sharp they pull

in the waste material with considera-

ble force, and thicker branches must

befirmly held back to avoid overloa-

ding the motor.

We recommend the wearing of gl-

oves and protective glasses while

shredding.

Twigs and branches should be shredded imme-

diately after cutting, while they are still full of sap

and we recommend either shredding dra material

from the time to time during this operation, or re-

serving the dry material until last.

This will absorb the moisture in the shredder and

clean the inside automatically. Do not however,

neglect to remove any residue from the shred-

der once the task is finished (First disconnect the

main plug).

If finer shredding is required, feed the material

through the funnel a second time.

Transportation

For easier transportation, the shredder can be se-

parated in the middle (hinges).

1 Unscrew the nut. (1a)

2 Pull out the rod and take the upper part off.

(1b)

Cleaning inside the housing

Aftrer cleaning the inside of the shredder, we re-

commend that you spray the inside and the blade

disc with a fine oil to prevent corrosion.

Motor is maintenance-free

Remember your "TCS Duotec" has a tough job to

do in shredding branches and shrubs. It is there-

fore, of parampunt importance that the cutters are

kept sharp. The cutters have appreciable less cut-

ting power when blunt. The shred is then coarser

(will not decompose so easily).

Shredder tears rather than cuts when the cutters

are blunt.

Prior to switching the shredder on check taht all

cutters are securely mounted.

Changing and grinding cutters

Assembly:

Included with the shredder is the following:

4 box spanner SW10

1 open-ended spanner SW 10/8

1 Torx-bit T30

CAUTION!

Always switch off the motor and dis-

connect the plug prior to gaining ac-

cess to the cutters!

Make shure the cutters are sharp

when used!

Always keep to the original cutting

edge when regrinding the cutters!

Use new cutters, when necessary!

Wear protective gloves when doing

this, to avoid the risk of injury.

Loosen the countersunk head bolt using the Torx-

bit and open-ended spanner and turn the bldes

180°. (10a)

These blades are double ground and can thus be

used on both sides. When blunt on both sides re-

new, and make sure they are screwed in tightly.

Diassembly of the pre-cutter and blade disc:

CAUTION!

Wear protective gloves when doing this,

to avoid the risk of injury!

Using the allen key, loosen the socket head screw

in the blade holder (keeping the lower blade disc

from burning). (10b)

Now you can lift off the following parts:

Socket head screw with pre-cutter and was-

her. (11)

Upper blade disc. (12)

Distance tube (13)

Lower blade disc.

Assembly is carried out in the reverse sequende.

Replacing the feeder funnel

If the tube will not close down (sticks), turn the

blade disc around 90°.

lift back the tube and engage in the saftey lever

(central catch).

Screw in the handscrew.

CAUTION!

Before puuting into operation check

that the feeder tube has been pro-

perly located and locked with the

central catch!

For replacement og this crew use

only original part!
