set the blade in position. (Fig. 16)
The two cutting edges should be used alternately so as to
lengthen its life.
This shredder can be fed with material with a maximum
diameter of 40mm. Check the branch size before feeding it
into hopper. Push branch into the tester, and only shred
branches which can pass through. (Fig. 17)
