Shredder
GA100
Recycling garden and organic household
waste into useful compost makes good sense.
The Black & Decker compost shredder quickly
reduces such waste to a fraction of its original bulk
and to a size which will compost far quicker than
unshredded material.
For your safety and for best results, read the
whole of this leaflet carefully before using your

Materials suitable for shredding
The garden shredder will shred most forms of
organic waste to be found in the home and garden.
For instance, prunings, hedge trimmings, twigs,
organic garden waste, kitchen waste, paper and
cardboard can all be reduced to shreds quickly
and easily.
Do not feed the shredder with stones, glass, metal
objects, bones, plastics or rags (H5).
Do not shred roots covered in soil as the blades
become blunt very quickly.
Use the main feeder funnel for small branches and
1
twigs (up to ⁄ "/6mm diameter) and thicker branches
4
(up to 1"/25mm diameter) should be inserted in the
side feeder.
Please refer to the section in this manual entitled
"Getting the best out of your shredder" for
further information.

Safety instructions

Electrical safety
•
Your machine is designed for use on AC (mains)
electrical supplies only. Do not attempt to use on
any other supply.
•
Plug your machine into a power point, never in a
light socket.
•
Do not leave your machine unattended whilst it
is connected to the electrical supply. Switch off
and remove the plug whenever you leave
your machine.
•
Always switch off and remove the plug from the
mains before cleaning, inspecting or adjusting
any part of the machine, before clearing a
blockage, if the supply cable has become
damaged or entangled, or before lifting, carrying
or storing (H8).
•
Switch off and remove the plug from the
socket to inspect your machine for damage
and to rectify any faults after a hard object
enters the machine or if the machine starts to
vibrate abnormally.
•
Do not move the shredder while the cutters are
still rotating.
Power supply cable
•
The power supply cable should be regularly
inspected for signs of damage or ageing and
only used if in good condition.
