9.1 Motor restart inhibitor
The machine can only be started via the 
switch and not by plugging the electric 
cable into the mains socket.
9.2 Safety interlock
The motor/shredding tool may only be 
operated when the feed chute has been 
properly closed. If the right closure screw 
(machine viewed from the front) becomes 
loose during operation, the motor is 
switched off automatically and after a few 
seconds the shredding tool comes to a 
standstill.
9.3 Motor run-down brake
The motor run-down brake shortens the 
run-down time from when the machine is 
switched off until the blades stop to a few 
seconds.
9.4 Protective covers
The garden shredder is equipped with 
protective covers in the feeding and 
ejection areas. These include the 
complete feed chute with the upper chute 
and splash guard, the ejection chute 
extension and the discharge flap.
The protective covers ensure that a safe 
distance is maintained from the shredding 
blades.
10.1 Electrical connection of garden 
shredders
Power supply and operating voltage must 
correspond (see rating plate).
The power cable must be adequately 
protected by fuse in line with the 
respective national electrical installation 
regulations. (Ö 17.)
Only electric cables which are no lighter 
than rubber sheathed cables 
H07 RN-F DIN/VDE 0282 may be used.
The plug connections must be splash 
proof.
Unsuitable extension cables lead to a loss 
of power and may result in damage to the 
motor.
The minimum cross-section of the power 
cable must be 3x1.5mm² for a length of 
up to 25 m or 3x2.5mm² for a length of 
up to 50 m.
The connectors of the electric cable must 
be made of rubber or have a rubber 
coating and conform to the DIN/VDE 0620 
standard.
This machine is intended for operation with 
a power supply having a system 
impedance of Z
max
 at the transfer point 
(house connection) of maximum 
0.443 Ohm (at 50 Hz).
The user must ensure that the machine is 
only operated with a power supply which 
meets this requirement. If necessary, this 
information can be obtained from the local 
electric power company.
10.2 Connecting the power cable 
GHE 150, GHE 250, GHE 250 S:
● Lift clip (1).
● Connect power cable connector.

operating the garden shredder.
Risk of injury!
Observe the instructions in section 
"Warning – dangers caused by 
electrical current" (Ö 4.2).
Your electrician can provide further 
information on mains connection.
When choosing a power cable, take 
account of all the information in the 
"Electrical connection" section 
(Ö 10.1). 
There must be no shredding 
material in the machine when it is 
switched on as it may be ejected.
The blade disc locking device must 
always be tilted back to the stop.
