8. Notes on working with the

machine

8.1 What material can be processed?

Both soft and hard material can be
processed with the garden shredders
GE 355 and GE 375.
Soft material:
Organic plant trimmings such as fruit and
vegetable waste, flower cuttings, leaves
etc.
Hard material:
5
Tree and hedge cuttings and thick branch
material with side shoots.
Tree and hedge cuttings should be
processed when fresh, as the
shredding performance is better
with fresh than with dried-out or wet
material.
