Safety Devices; Motor Run-Down Brake; Protective Covers; Operating The Machine - Stihl GHE 150 Gebrauchsanleitung

● 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.
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.

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.

operating the garden shredder.

10.1 Electrical connection of garden

shredders

Risk of injury!
Observe the instructions in section
"Warning – dangers caused by
electrical current" ( 4.2).
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. ( 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 3 x 1.5 mm² for a length of
up to 25 m or 3 x 2.5 mm² 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 at the transfer point
max
(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.
Your electrician can provide further
information on mains connection.
