⚠ Electrical connection

The installed electric brake motor is ready to be put into operation. The connection meets the relevant VDE and DIN requirements. The electric brake motor causes the disc blade to come to a near immediate standstill after the machine has been turned off. Firing, repair and maintenance work on the electric unit can only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Important notes
Damaged electrical connection cables Insulation damage often occurs with electrical connection cables. Some causes are:

Pressure points, especially when electrical connection cables are run through window or door cracks.
Kinks caused by improper handling or mowing of the electrical connection cables.
Cuts resulting from being run over
Insulation damages caused by pulling the cable out of wall sockets.
Cracks resulting from aging of the insulation.

Such insulation damaged electrical connection cables cannot be used and are, as a result of their insulation damage. LIFETHREATENING!! Check the electrical cable connections on a regular basis. When checking the cables, make sure that the cables are not stuck to the electrical network. Electrical cable connections built with seal contacts must meet the relevant VDE and DIN requirements. Only use electrical cable connections with a rating of at least H 07 RN or a rubber sheathed cable. The type rating of the connection cable must be printed on the cable.

AC motor

The mains voltage must be 220-240 V~ / 50 Hz.
Extension cables up to 25 m in length must have a cross section of at least 1,5 mm² , above 25 m at least 2,5 mm²
Mains fuse protection is 16 Amps slow-blow.

In accordance with safety regulations, the motor is equipped with a switch featuring an integrated protective circuit breaker, which cuts off the current in the event of overload.

3-phase motor

3-phase motor
The turning direction of 3-phase motors must be checked when they are connected for the first time or if they are relocated. If necessary the polarity must be changed with the phase inverter, Fig. “K”
The mains voltage must be 400V, 50Hz.
Extension cables must have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm².
Mains connection and extension cables must be 5-core with CEE equipment connector and CEE coupling.
The mains connection must be protected with a max. 16 A fuse. The 230V and 400V electrical motors are designed for S6 / 40% operation. In the event of an overloading the motor will switch itself off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the motor can be switched back on again.

Overload may be caused by the following:

longer-duration blockage of the knife disc
alternately switching on/off of the motor in rapid succession

If the cutter blade is jammed by branches or other chopped garden waste, the electrical motor must be switched off immediately via the ON/OFF switch. Do not wait until the motor circuit breaker has tripped.

Pull out the mains plug!
Open the top part of the housing.
Rectify the cause of the blockage (overload).
Refit the top part of the housing in accordance with instructions. Screw safety screws all the way in!
Reconnect to the mains and switch the motor on again after a brief cool-down time.

Putting into operation

Observe safety notes before putting into operation.
The machine may only be operated with fully mounted protection and infeed system.
Starting protection, Abb. / Fig. ,,C” Your BIOSTAR can only be started when the top of the housing is correctly closed. The butterfly nut is simultaneously the nut which fastens the upper and lower housing unit together and the security nut for the starting safeguard. In tightening the butterfly nut to the stud (1), contact is made to the circuit breaker and the circuit closer. The motor starts when the on-button is pressed.

If the butterfly nut is not quite screwed in or the housing is open, the electric circuit is interrupted by the starting safeguard. In pressing the on-button, the motor should not start.
The original safety screws must not be replaced by any other screws!
Switching on/off

The machine can be switched on by pressing the button to ,,I”.
In order to switch the machine off again, press the button to ,,0″.

Motor braking unit The BIOSTAR is fitted with an automatic motor braking unit which becomes effective as soon as the driving motor is switched off.

Operating instructions

Excellent work results require wellsharpened blades. Please note: Dull blades reduce cutting capacity and impair work performance! Reduced intake is a certain sign for dull blades. The motor overheats and it triggers the overload protection. See maintenance for the changing and sharpening of blade.

Infeed of material to be chopped, Abb. / Fig. J Always switch on the motor first!

We recommend: Wear work gloves, goggles and ear protection.
Watch for stones and earth when collecting the material.
Do not put hard objects such as stones, glass, metal parts etc. into your garden shredder.
Earth wears the cutting blades down fast and should therefore be removed from the material.
Do not put roots with adhering earth into your garden shredder.
Wood such as tree cutting etc. requires sharp blades and should be shredded separatly to prolong the service life of the knives.
Feed branches in thick end first and push them onto the downstroke part of the knife disc if possible (kickback).
Pull the material back forcefully, counteracting the automatic pull of the machine, in order to avoid killing the motor when the speed reduces.
Freshly cut wood requires less force, so large diameter cuttings can be shredded easily.
Hedge cuttings must be fed in gradually. Some types tend to jam. Push them in with a long piece of wood.
Shrubs tend to be woody and require sharp blades.
Bark is easy to shred when damp. We recommend gradual shredding.
If you want finer shredded results, put the shredded material back into the shredder a second time.
Paper should be shredded damp and rolled up. Remove the metal staples from cardboard boxes.
Vegetable waste is normally easy to shred, but may stick due to moisture.
It is best to save some dry material for the final run. It absorbs the moisture in the machine and cleans the inside of the housing.
Important: Remove remaining waste from the machine after finishing work. Caution: PULL ELECTRIC PLUG
To start up the machine again after an interruption of work, the blade housing has to be cleared of shredded material.
DO NOT SPRAY DOWN WITH WATER!

Conduct in case of an accident Start First Aid measures relevant to the injury and request medical help as quickly as possible. Prevent the injured person from further injury and keep him/ her rested. For potentially occurring accidents, the First Aid kit, according to DIN 13164, should always be handy at the work place. Material taken from the First Aid kit must be replaced immediately. When you are requesting help, give the following information:
