Material
Shredding Method
Twigs and pruning up to
1/4" (6 mm) diameter.
Branches and pruning
up to 1 1/2" (39 mm) in
diameter.
Bedding plants, weeds
and shrubby growth.
Freshly cut foliage, hedge
pruning, and kitchen
waste (e.g., cabbage
leaves, vegetable
peelings, etc.)
Feed into the feeding chute at a rate which the
shredder will accept without overloading. Use the
plunger to push the material into the chute if required.
Clip off all side growth with pruning shears before
feeding into the feeding chute with the plunger.
Knock soil and stones off the roots to avoid damage to
the blades. Avoid weeds that may have seeded. The
seeds may not decompose and may germinate later.
With any material having a high, moisture content,
it is advisable to feed in some drier sticks at regular
intervals to help push the material through the cutting
assembly and prevent it from clogging.
OPERATION
For best results when shredding, follow the guidelines shown in the table below.
