Shredding tips
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.

DO NOT FEED MATERIAL INTO THE
SHREDDER AFTER THE SHREDDER HAS BEEN
STOPPED, THIS CAN LEAD TO MATERIAL BEING
TRAPPED IN THE SHREDDER AND MAKE IT VERY
