7. MACHINE USAGE
Only use this machine for those jobs for which it
has been designed. The use of this machine for other
uses is dangerous and could cause damages to the
user and/or the machine.
Place the branches in the entry chute and once they
are inside, let them go. The machine will suction
the branches automatically. When introducing wider
branches, ensure that the engine speed is sufficient.
Cut the side branches with a width of more than 3cm
from the main branch and introduce separately. Long
branches could hit you in the face and therefore you
must maintain a safety distance and always use a
face protector.
SHREDDING TIPS
The hardness of the wood depends on the type
of wood, the time between the pruning and the
shredding and the dryness of the branches. For an
optimum shredding, the branches must be shredded
just after the pruning.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
