INTENDED USE
Your Black & Decker garden shredder GS1400 has
been designed for shredding most kitchen and
garden waste, including prunings, hedge
trimmings, twigs and other organic garden waste
as well as paper and cardboard. The shredded
waste is ideal for composting purposes or to
obtain a smaller volume of waste for easy disposal.
This garden shredder is intended for consumer
use only. It is intended for intermittent use: the
recommended material feed time is 40% of the
total run time of the shredder. Selecting and
picking up the material will normally provide a
sufficient idle time.
