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
Soft material:
● Feed organic plant trimmings such as
fruit and vegetable waste, flower
cuttings, leaves, thin branches, etc. into
large rectangular opening (1).
Hard material:
● Feed tree and hedge cuttings and
branch material slowly into the STIHL
cloverleaf opening (2), guiding it along
the right chute wall to the blade unit.
The hard material is automatically
drawn in by the machine.
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 16.)
Cut up thick branches and
branches with numerous side
shoots beforehand using loppers.
