OPERATION (cont.)
2. The shredder will automatically pull the material
through the feeding hopper. The push stick (9) can be
used to assist in feeding the garden material (Fig. 19).
Following the below procedures will improve operation and prolong the life of the shredder.
• Branches and twigs should be shredded shortly after they are cut. They become
extremely hard once dry and the maximum cutting diameter is reduced.
• Garden waste such as fresh foliage, creepers and vines contain a lot of moisture,
this can result in material sticking to the cutter head. Such material should be
allowed to dry for a few days before being fed into the shredder.
• Always check material before shredding, ensure it does not contain any stones or
nails as this may severely damage the shredder.
• Always store the shredder indoors in a dry place.
Composting
The shredded material can be composted in various ways:
•
Placed in a heap directly on the ground (cold composting).
•
Placed in a plastic container, wooden crate, skeleton container or similar
(cold composting).
•
Placed in an insulated compost holder. The heat is then maintained for longer
periods and the rotting process continues during the winter. This method
produces faster results (warm composting).
•
Spread directly onto the garden (surface composting).
WARNING!
Always use a dust mask and safety gloves when handling
composted material to prevent contamination from micro organisms.
