Can I shred wet garden waste?

While it can handle general garden waste, it is best to avoid feeding excessively wet material as it may reduce efficiency and affect performance.

How do I clean the shredder?

Always unplug the shredder before cleaning. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the hopper and exterior. Ensure blades are clear of debris but avoid direct hand contact.

Troubleshooting

Shredder will not turn on

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and if the electrical outlet is functional. Ensure the collection box is correctly attached, as some models have a safety interlock.

Shredder is jamming or struggling to cut

Turn off and unplug the shredder. Carefully remove any jammed material using the safety plunger or appropriate tools. Ensure you are not feeding material thicker than the maximum 45mm capacity. Check for blockages in the chute.

Excessive vibration during operation

Ensure the shredder is on a level, stable surface. Check that the blades are securely fastened and not damaged. If vibration persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Poor shredding quality

Verify that the material being fed is within the specified size limit. Clean any debris from the blades. If blades are worn or damaged, they may need replacing.
