Special instructions for chopping
z Chop branches, twigs and wood shortly after cutting (this
chopped material will become very hard once it has dried out,
therefore the maximum diameter which can be processed is
less).
z Remove the side shoots on severely ramified branches.
z When processing garden or kitchen waste with a high water
content with a tendency to stick, crush alternately with wooden
chopping material to avoid blocking the appliance).
z Do not allow the chopping material in the area of the discharge
opening to accumulate too high. This can lead to material
which is already chopped blocking the discharge channel.
This can cause a kickback of the material through the filling
opening.
z Ensure that the maximum branch diameter for processing
permitted for your appliance is observed.
z The blade unit pulls in the chopping material largely by itself.
z Do not overload or block the motor in the case of tough
branches by frequently pulling back the branch.
