How to use

Place the AWTools AW81020 on a firm, level surface and ensure the waste bag is correctly attached before switching on the motor. Feed branches and prunings into the input funnel avoiding overly large diameters and foreign objects such as stones or metal. Operate the shredder in short sessions if processing large amounts to allow the thermal protection to cool the motor as needed. After use, switch off and disconnect from the power supply, then empty the waste bag and check the knives for wear. Replace or reverse the cutting knives following the manufacturer's guidance when performance decreases.

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves and eye protection when operating the shredder, and keep bystanders, especially children and pets, at a safe distance. Do not attempt to shred wet or frozen material or materials that exceed the shredder's intended diameter. Regularly inspect the knives and housing for damage, clean the machine after heavy use, and store it in a dry place to prolong service life.
