Risk of injury:
In order to prevent injuries caused
by kickback, the garden shredder
must be fed with hard material in
the correct manner. If the garden
shredder is fed from the rear
(i.e. the operator is standing in the
working area ( 8.4), the branch
material should be inserted at a
slight angle and guided along the
left-hand chute wall to the blade
unit in accordance with the
symbol (4). When feeding, note the
maximum branch diameter. (
The large feed opening (2) is
designed to better accommodate
branches with numerous side
shoots and twigs.
Cut up thick branches and
branches with numerous side
shoots (note the maximum branch
thickness) beforehand using
loppers. Throw thin pruning
material (up to approx. 10 mm in
diameter) into the feed opening (1)
for soft material.
● Feed tree and hedge cuttings and
branch material slowly into the feed
opening (2) of the folded-out branch
guide (3). The hard material is
automatically drawn in by the machine.
You should support and guide longer
branches with your hand when
shredding.
