6. Shredding material:
WARNING! Before starting, ensure that the feed inlet is empty.
WARNING! Always wear ear and eye protection and wear gloves during operation.
CAUTION! Longer material standing out from the shredder could lash out when being pulled
in by the blades. Keep a safe distance.
CAUTION! When using the garden shredder and feeding branches into the shredder,
sometimes the blades pull the material into the opening. Keep hands at a safe distance.
CAUTION! The ventilation slots must not be covered.
a) Only insert as much material as to prevent blockage of the feeding funnel. Chop garden waste
that has been stored for a few days and is wilted and damp alternately with dry branches. This
prevents the cutting blades from blocking up. Widely branched material with leaves must be
completely chopped before new material is fed. Make sure that the chopped material can fall
freely from the ejection slot.
b) Keep hold of branches while feeding them into the garden shredder until they are automatically
drawn in.
c) Keep to the working speed of the garden shredder and do not overload it.
d) To protect the garden shredder from clogging, shred wilted garden waste that has been left for a
few days and shred thin twigs alternately with branches.
e) Before you shred roots, remove any remaining soil and stones from them.
f) Do not shred soft, damp material such as kitchen waste, take it straight to the compost.
g) Keep a few dry branches for the end, as they will help clean the garden shredder.
h) Only switch the garden shredder off after all of the shredding material has passed through the
discharge chutes. Otherwise, the discharge chutes may jam the next time the shredder is turned
on.
