ENGLISHGetting the best out of your shredder

• Read the instructions before using

your shredder, particularly the safety instructions.

• Allow the unit to work at its own pace; do not

overload it.

• Ensure that the cutters are kept sharp:

dull cutters reduce the efficiency and can

cause overloading.

• Dry material will help moist material clear the

ejection chute.

• Save some dry sticks until last to help clean the

unit out.

• Do not allow material to pile up and “compost”

prior to shredding as it will become too damp.

• There are two clips on the front of the shredder

to which a plastic bag or bin liner can be

attached to collect the shreddings. However, to

avoid the bag becoming detached, ensure that

the bag is touching the ground when attaching.

See overleaf for a table illustrating how to achieve

optimum performance from your shredder.

Maintenance

• Disconnect the unit from the mains before

cleaning.

• After use, disconnect from the power supply,

remove the funnel and clean and dry the casing

and cutter disc area.

• Store in a dry place out of reach of children.

• Check that the cutter blades are kept sharp.

New blades are available from any Black & Decker

service centre.

Changing the cutters (Fig. E)

• Switch the shredder off and disconnect

from the power supply.

• Disconnect the motor plug connection.

• Loosen the thumbscrew on the

front of the shredder and remove the

feeder body.

• In order to change the blades it is

necessary to lock the cutter disc, by

putting the spanner into the slot in

the casing and cutting disc, so that the

blades cannot rotate.

• Cutting blades can be used on both

sides. When the first side has become

blunt, release the two screws with the

hexagonal key and turn the blades over,

refit the screws and tighten securely.

New blades are available from any

Black & Decker service centre.

• After changing the blades, replace the

feeder body and secure. Reconnect the

motor plug.

• Reconnect the power supply.

• Pre-cutter blades are designed to last

the life of the unit. If damaged, they must

only be changed by Black & Decker

service centre staff.

Renewing the drive belt (Fig. F)

If the shredder motor is running without

driving the cutter disc, it indicates the drive

belt has worn out and will need replacing.

New drive belts are available from any

Black & Decker service centre.

• Disconnect the shredder from the

power supply.

• Place the shredder upside down so that

it is resting on the large funnel.

• Remove the back support leg with

the spanner.

• Remove the black cover plate by

releasing the two screws.

• Remove the belt tension screw located

at the front of the shredder.

• Disconnect the motor plug connection.

Remove the motor by releasing the

four hexagonal screws with the allen

key provided.

• Remove the old drive belt and replace

the new one over the belt pulley. Fit the

motor, making sure that the drive spindle

on the motor engages with the drive belt.

• Replace the four hexagonal screws and

washers but do not secure.

• Replace the tension screw and

tighten fully.

• Turn the belt pulley to check that the

drive belt is still engaged with the motor

drive spindle.

• The four hexagonal screws can now be

tightened, and the motor plug

reconnected.

• Replace and secure the cover plate and

back support leg.
