The shredder should be assembled according to the instructions that come with it in the kit.
When working with equipment, protective gloves and goggles should be used.
Pushing branches and other garden waste should only be done with a special pusher, and not manually.
If the diameter of the branches or trunks is larger than the permissible, then they cannot be recycled.
It is very important to ensure that in addition to foliage and branches, foreign objects do not fall into the funnel, otherwise the shredder may fail.
It is undesirable to recycle freshly cut branches, as they quickly spoil the cutting mechanism and dull the knives.
All damaged knives should be replaced in time. The soil from the branches and leaves should also be removed, as it can cause damage to the equipment.
