Product Information

Full details

The Draper Garden Shredder is designed for homeowners seeking a quieter, more efficient way to process garden waste. Its key benefit is the low-speed, high-torque blade system that minimizes noise while effectively shredding branches up to 45mm. A potential caveat is that while powerful, it is best suited for branches and not thick logs. This shredder features a robust induction motor, a quick-clear reverse function, a safe loading hopper with a safety plunger, a 60L collection box, and integrated wheels for easy transport.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum branch diameter this shredder can handle?

This Draper Garden Shredder can handle branches up to 45mm in diameter.

How does this shredder differ from high-speed models?

It uses a low-speed, high-torque blade system, which makes it significantly quieter than high-speed or impact shredders.

Is it safe to use?

Yes, it features a safety hopper and plunger that allow for safe loading without direct contact with the blades.

How do I clear a blockage?

The shredder is equipped with a reverse function that quickly clears blockages. Ensure the unit is switched off and unplugged before attempting manual clearing if necessary.

What is the capacity of the collection box?

The integrated collection box has a capacity of 60 litres.

What is the warranty period?

This product comes with the Draper 12 months parts and labour warranty.

Can I shred wet garden waste?

While it can process damp material, it is best to avoid excessively wet or muddy waste, as this can affect performance and potentially lead to blockages. Ensure material is dry where possible.

Troubleshooting

Shredder does not start

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the collection box is correctly fitted and the safety mechanisms are engaged.

Blades are jammed or not cutting effectively

Turn off and unplug the shredder. Use the reverse function to clear the blockage, or if severe, carefully clear debris manually after ensuring power is disconnected. Check for any foreign objects in the cutting chamber. Clean the blades if they appear dull or clogged.

Excessive noise or vibration

Ensure the shredder is on a level surface. Check that all parts, including the collection box, are securely attached. Overloading the shredder can also cause increased vibration; reduce the feed rate.

Shredded material is not being collected

Verify that the collection box is properly attached and has not reached its capacity. Ensure the chute is not blocked.
