Advice on shredding
particular materials
Feed into the top at a rate which the shredder
will accept without overloading
Clip off side growth with secateurs and feed into
the top. Feed the main stem into the side chute
Knock soil and stones off the roots to avoid damage
to the blades. Avoid weeds that have seeded; the seeds
may not decompose and may germinate later
With any material having a high internal moisture content
it is advisable to feed in some dry sticks
at regular intervals to help push the material through
the shredder and prevent it clogging. Experience will
tell you the frequency and amount to put through
Material must be very dry to avoid clogging. Sharpness
of the cutters is important to give best results. Avoid
following moist material as shreddings may stick to moist
shredder interior
Material must be dried out to avoid it wrapping around
the "V" cutter. Cut into short lengths before feeding
into the unit
