FAQs

What is the maximum branch size I can shred?

The shredder is designed to handle branches up to 40mm in diameter.

Is it safe to leave this shredder outside?

No, you should store the unit in a dry, sheltered location to prevent corrosion and protect the electrical components.

Does this shredder come with a collection bag?

Yes, it includes a 45L collection bag that attaches to the base.

Can I shred hedge trimmings with leaves?

While it can handle some leaves, it is primarily designed for woody waste. Large amounts of soft, leafy material may cause clogs.

How heavy is the unit?

What should I do if the machine gets jammed?

Turn off and unplug the machine immediately, then carefully clear the blockage from the chute using a long tool.

Troubleshooting

The shredder fails to start.

Check that the funnel is correctly locked into place and the safety interlock is engaged. Ensure the power cable is firmly connected.

Motor stops during operation.

The overload protection may have triggered. Turn off the device, unplug it, and clear any blockage from the blade area before resetting the circuit breaker.

Shredding performance has decreased.

The blades may be dull. Check for debris buildup around the blades or consider having the blades sharpened or replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the wheels to the chassis as per the included manual instructions.
  2. Secure the funnel to the main body, ensuring the safety interlock clicks into place.
  3. Connect the collection bag to the base of the unit.

Compatibility:

This device requires a standard domestic power outlet. Ensure you use an extension cable rated for outdoor use that is not excessively long, as voltage drops can affect motor performance.

Care:
