5

Branches up 

to 45 mm in 

diameter.

Clip off all side growth 

with secateurs before 

feeding into the feeding 

chute.

Bedding plants, 

weeds and 

shrubby growth.

Knock soil and stones 

off the roots to avoid 

damage to the blades.

Dry sticks and 

twigs

By inserting these at the 

end of your shredding 

task, this will help to 

clean the moisture and 

plant sap from the inside 

of the product and the 

cutting assembly.

 

Do not allow garden waste to accumulate 

before shredding as it will begin to compost, 

become too damp and clog the cutting 

assembly. Dry material will help most 

material to clear the ejection chute. Save 

some dry sticks until last to help clean the 

blade area.

 

Frequently monitor the build up/collection 

of shredded material.

 

The exit of the discharge chute must be 

clear at all times to prevent blockages.

 

When the collection bin is full, turn off the 

product before emptying.

 WARNING

Do not put your hands up inside the 

shredder’s discharge chute to clear away 

shredded material while the product is 

turned on or connected to the mains supply. 

The blades are sharp. Wear heavy-duty 

gloves and exercise extreme caution when 

cleaning and clearing blockages.

 WARNING

When feeding long woody branches/stems 

into the product be careful of whip and 

vibrations as they get caught by the cutter. 

The operator must wear eye protection 

whenever using the product.

 WARNING

The cutting device has a tendency to pull 

branches/stems into the product. Do not 

try to impede entry of the material being 

cut once feeding has started. Always wear 

gloves to prevent skin lacerations when 

feeding material into the product.

NOTE: In normal use, do not turn off the 

product until all of the shredded material has 

cleared the cutter assembly. If the product 

is turned off too quickly, remaining pieces of 

material may clog the blade assembly and 

stall the motor when the product is turned 

back on.
