7.3 Storing the Allen key
● Push Allen key (O) into holder (1)
on 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.
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
GE 135 L: 35 mm
GE 140 L: 40 mm
8.4 Feeding the garden shredder
Even branches laden with side
shoots and twigs can be processed
thanks to the VIKING cloverleaf opening.
● 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.
8.6 Overload protection
If an overload of the motor occurs during
operation, the built-in automatic reverse
changes the rotational direction of the
blade roller in an attempt to remove the
blockage automatically. If the blockage
cannot be removed after 3 changing
rotational direction, the built-in overload
protection automatically switches off the
motor.
The garden shredder can be started up
again after a cooling period of
approx. 10 minutes.
Frequent triggering of the overload
protection may be attributable to the
following causes:
– Unsuitable electric cable (Ö 10.1)
– Power overload
– Machine overload due to excessive
quantities of shredding material
8.7 When the blade roller blocks
An overloaded motor, too much shredding
material, foreign objects or branches that
are too thick will cause the rotational
direction of the blade roller to change
automatically after a short period of time,
resulting in the blade roller coming to a
stop.
● If the blade roller stops, operate the Off
switch immediately.
● Allow the machine to cool and switch on
again as described. (Ö 10.9)
8. Notes on working with the
machine
Tree and hedge cuttings should be
processed when fresh, as the
shredding performance is better
with fresh than with dried-out or wet
material.
5
Cut up thick branches and
branches with numerous 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.

The blade roller changes rotational
direction automatically when
overloaded.
