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;
GHE260, GHE260S: 40 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.
8.8 Feeding the garden shredder
● Before feeding the garden shredder,
note the working area. (Ö 8.4)
● Start the garden shredder. (Ö 10.3)
Soft material:
● Throw organic plant trimmings such as
fruit and vegetable waste, flower
cuttings, leaves, thin branches etc. into
the feed opening (1).
Hard material:
● Feed tree and hedge cuttings as well as
branch material slowly into the feed
opening (1). The hard material is
automatically drawn in by the machine.
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.

Risk of injury!
Carefully read the section entitled
"For your safety" (Ö 4.), sub-
section "Working with your
machine" (Ö 4.6) in particular, and
follow all the safety instructions
before feeding the garden
shredder. It is only permitted for
one person to feed the garden
shredder.
Risk of injury!
Never reach into the feed
opening.
8
Damp or wet soft material will
cause blockages in the machine
more quickly. For this reason, feed
the garden shredder more slowly
and pay particular attention to the
motor speed. It should not drop
during feeding.
Cut up thick branches and
branches with side shoots (note the
maximum branch thickness
(Ö 8.3)) beforehand using loppers.
Risk of injury!
The inclined blade unit can cause
branches to kick back.
In order to prevent injuries caused
by kickback, the garden shredder
must be fed with hard material in
the correct manner:
Insert longer branches at a slight
angle and guide them along the
right-hand chute wall to the blade
unit in accordance with the
symbol (2).
Observe the correct motor load.
