Hints for optimum use
Shred dry materials last, as this will help to
clear moist material from the shredder.
Do not allow material to pile up and compost
prior to shredding.
You may feed shreddings into the shredder for
a second time to further reduce their volume.
Refer to the chart at the end of this text.
