or the engine is running), particularly in
order to prevent injuries due to
shredding material that is ejected
backwards.

processed when fresh, as the
shredding performance is better
with fresh than with dried-out or wet
see engine

maximum branch diameter.
In the case of dry or wet shredding
material, it may be necessary to
reduce the maximum branch
diameter.
8.5 Feeding the garden shredder
Risk of injury!
Branch material kickback may
result in serious injury to the user.
In order to prevent injuries caused
by kickback, the garden shredder
must be fed in the correct manner.
When feeding, note the maximum
branch diameter specified. Thin out
any branches with numerous twigs
and remove side shoots. The large
feed opening is designed to better
accommodate branch material with
numerous twigs and side shoots.
