7.3 Opening and closing the 
discharge flap
Opening the discharge flap:
● For shredding, fold the discharge 
flap (1) upwards and allow the tab (2) to 
engage in the ejection chute extension.

We recommend following the 
described installation sequence to 
prevent the splash guard slipping 
off when screwing in the screws.
8. Notes on working with the 
machine
Tree and hedge cuttings should be 
processed when fresh, as the 
shredding performance is better 
with fresh than with dried-out or wet 
material.
