The best shredding performance is
achieved with freshly cut tree and hedge
clippings.
8.4 Working area for operator
For safety reasons the operator
must stay in the working area (grey
area) for the entire operating period.
To ensure you are not hit by shredded
material that is ejected backwards, you
should not stand directly behind the
garden shredder but slightly to the side of
it (grey hatched area A).
8.5 Correct way to feed the
garden shredder
8.6 Display
After the garden shredder has been
switched on, the processable shredding
material is indicated on the display (1) by
the following symbols:
Tree and hedge cuttings as
well as thick branch material
with side shoots.
Organic plant trimmings such
as fruit and vegetable waste,
flower cuttings, leaves, etc.
8.7 Correct machine load
The load on the motor or engine of the
garden shredder must never cause the
speed to drop significantly. Always feed
the garden shredder continuously and
steadily. If the speed drops when working
with the garden shredder, stop feeding the
machine in order to relieve the load on the
motor or engine.
8.8 Overload protection
If an overload of the motor occurs during
operation, the built-in overload protection
device automatically switches off the
motor.
The garden shredder can be started up
again after a cooling period of
approx. 1 0 minutes . Frequent triggering
of the overload protection may be
attributable to the following causes:
– Unsuitable electric cable ( Ö 10.1)
– Power overload
– Machine overloaded due to excessive
quantities of shredding material or blunt
blades
Caution!
When inserting several thin
branches at the same time, the
combined diameter of the individual
branches must not exceed the
maximum branch diameter.

Risk of injury!
The inclined blade unit can cause
branch material to kick back.
Branch material kickback may
result in serious injury to the user.
In order to prevent injuries caused
by kickback, the garden shredder
must be fed in the correct manner.
If the garden shredder is fed from
the rear (i.e. the operator is
standing in the working area
(
Ö 8.4)), the branch material
should be inserted at a slight angle
and guided along the left-hand
chute wall to the blade unit in
accordance with the symbol (1).
When feeding, note the maximum
branch diameter specified. Thin out
any branches with numerous twigs
and remove side shoots. The large
feed opening is designed to better
accommodate branch material with
numerous twigs and side shoots.
The symbol shown on the display is
only meaningful when the motor is
running. For this reason, switch on
the garden shredder before
checking the display. (
