8. Notes on working with the
machine

8.1 What material can be processed?

Tree and hedge cuttings, thujas, spruce
branches, branches with side shoots and
twigs with leaves, greens, berry bushes,
bundled flower material which is not too
damp.
Tree and hedge cuttings should be
processed when fresh, as the
shredding performance is better
with fresh than with dried-out or wet
material.

8.2 What material cannot be

processed?
Stones, glass, bits of metal
(wire, nails, etc.) or plastic
must not be fed into the
garden shredder.
As a general rule:
Any materials that do not belong on the
compost heap should not be processed
using the garden shredder.

8.3 Maximum branch diameter

The data relates to freshly cut branch
material:
Maximum branch diameter
GHE 135 L: 35 mm
GHE 140 L: 40 mm

8.4 Feeding the garden shredder

1
Even branches with side shoots and
twigs can be processed thanks to
the STIHL cloverleaf opening.
Cut up thick branches and
branches with side shoots
beforehand using loppers.
In order to prevent the garden
shredder becoming blocked, tough
shredding material containing earth
should be combined with dry
branches.
Only feed the garden shredder at
maximum motor speed.
Risk of injury!
Hold branches being drawn in by
the shredder lightly and guide them
to just before the feed opening. Do
not grip branches firmly or pull them
back out of the shredder.
● Guide tree and hedge cuttings as well
as branch material slowly through feed
opening (13) to the blade roller.
Branches are drawn into the shredder
without kickback.
● Run the machine until empty after each
work operation.

8.5 Correct motor load

Always feed the garden shredder
continuously and steadily.
