INTENDED USE
Your Black & Decker garden shredder
GS1600/GS1800 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.
