garden shredder BEGAS5800 has
been designed for shredding most kitchen and garden waste,
including prunings, hedge trimmings, twigs and other organic
garden waste as well as paper and cardboard. The shredded
waste is ideal for composting purposes or to obtain a smaller
volume of waste for easy disposal.
This garden shredder is intended for consumer use only. It is
intended for intermittent use: the recommended material feed
time is 40% of the total run time of the shredder. Selecting
and picking up the material will normally provide a sufficient
idle time.
