8. Notes on working with the
machine

8.1 What material can be processed?

– Feeding the garden shredder. (
GE 150, GE 250 S, GE 260 S:
Tree and hedge cuttings and thick branch
material with side shoots.
GE 250, GE 260:
5
Organic plant trimmings such as fruit and
vegetable cuttings, flower cuttings, leaves,
tree and hedge cuttings, as well as thick
branches with side shoots and twigs.
Tree and hedge cuttings should be
processed when fresh, as the
shredding performance is better
with fresh than with dried-out or wet
material.
8.2 What material cannot be
processed?
6
Stones, glass, bits of metal (wire, nails,
etc.) or plastic must not be fed into the
garden shredder.
As a general rule:
Any materials that do not belong on the
compost heap should not be processed
using the garden shredder.
