GHE 250:
Organic plant trimmings such as fruit and
vegetable cuttings, flower cuttings, leaves,
tree and hedge cuttings, as well as thick
branches with side shoots and twigs.
8.2 What material cannot be
processed?
Stones, glass, bits of metal (wire, nails,
etc.) or plastic must not be fed into the
garden shredder.
As a general rule:
Any materials that do not belong on the
compost heap should not be processed
using the garden shredder.
8.3 Maximum branch diameter
The data relates to freshly cut branch
material:
Maximum branch diameter
GHE 150, GHE 250, GHE 250 S: 35 mm
8.4 Working area for operator
● For safety reasons, the operator must
stay within the working area (grey
area X) for the entire operating period
(while the motor is switched on or the
engine is running), particularly in order
to prevent injuries due to shredding
material that is ejected backwards.
8.5 Correct machine load
The load on the motor or engine of the
garden shredder must never cause the
speed to drop significantly. Always feed
the garden shredder continuously and
steadily. If the speed drops when working
with the garden shredder, stop feeding the
machine in order to relieve the load on the
motor or engine.
8.6 Overload protection
If an overload of the motor occurs during
operation, the built-in overload protection
device automatically switches off the
motor.
The garden shredder can be started up
again after a cooling period of
approx. 10 minutes. Frequent triggering
of the overload protection may be
attributable to the following causes:
– Unsuitable electric cable (Ö 10.1)
– Power overload
– Machine overloaded due to excessive
quantities of shredding material or blunt
blades
8.7 If the cutting unit of the garden
shredder is blocked
If the cutting unit of the garden shredder
becomes blocked during shredding,
immediately switch off the motor and
disconnect the power cable. Then remove
the feed chute and eliminate the cause of
the fault.
Tree and hedge cuttings should be
processed when fresh, as the
shredding performance is better
with fresh than with dried-out or wet
material.
Only switch off the motor when
there is no longer any shredding
material in the machine. Otherwise,
the blade disc may become blocked
when operation is resumed.
