What can I shred?

Yes:
• Garden waste
e. g. hedge and tree cuttings, dead flowers
No:
• glass, metal, plastic, plastic bags, stones, cloth, roots with
soil, food left-overs, fish or meat.
Special tips on shredding:

 Branches, twigs and wood should be broken down
immediately after they have been cut.
Material of this kind gets very hard when it is dry, and the
−
maximum allowed branch diameter to be processed has
to be reduced.
 Remove any side shoots from branches with a large number
of twigs.
Processing of garden waste that contains much water and is

prone to agglutinating
to prevent the machine from clogging, alternate such
−
waste with wood containing material.
 Do not allow the shredded material to pile up too high in the
area of the ejection opening. This can lead to shredded
material blocking the ejection channel, and backing up to the
filler opening.
 Clean out the filler opening and ejection channel thoroughly if
the machine becomes blocked. Before doing this, switch the
motor off and disconnect the machine from the mains power
supply.
 Please do not exceed the maximum branch diameter
specified (cutting fresh wood) for your appliance (∅ see
Technical data ). Depending on the wood
" "
freshness the maximum branch diameter the machine can
process may be smaller.
 The blades largely pull the material into the machine by
themselves.
16
 Strong branches may cause overloading. This can be
avoided by pulling them back from time to time.
 If the machine is overloaded, a protective motor switch
ensures that the machine turns itself off automatically.
