i have one but not tried thick branches, I had a problem with not starting and found the hexagon screws in the front plate had come loose. The screws hit switches that isolate the machine. Just check now and again to make sure they are tight. (not overtight).
It does sound loud lol have reserved one to collect tomorrow. Looks like it does the job with no issues. Thanks for sharing the video 😀 hope the neighbours aren’t planning on relaxing in the garden tomorrow 😂
Does anyone know if the blades can be removed for sharpening? I would think that after a while the blades would start to dull a bit as with most shredders. Cheers.
I must be doing something wrong, mine tends to crush instead of shred, I'm assuming you can use freshly cut material, thinking now I should have went for the spinning blade type, they are more expensive.
I'm on my 3rd machine in less than a month. First one was great proper little chomper but then the thread on the counter plate blade stripped and jammed so couldnt undo it I took it back to SF and the staff member was fantastic. Offered me a refund or a replacement no trouble at all orbeit I was s little concerned the same thing may happen again as the bolt just isn't strong enough. I took the replacement as I still had work to do. I took the replacement and literally 20 minutes into working the adjuster knob stopped turning and jammed... I was so frustrated as the machine really does a great job at shredding. I took the machine back two days later and again explained what had happened. The staff on this occasion couldn't have been any different. The assistant looked at me as if I'd done it deliberately and question how it had happened. She hadn't git s clue how the thing worked but clearly thought I'd done it deliberately. I asked if I could have one from another batch as possibly this batch had a simple fault of a dodgy bolt. But I was informed she had no idea how the batch system worked. I really didnt want another only to bring it hack again in s week or so with the same issue but still has 6 conifers to take down. Eventually she brought a replace6to the counter and opened it up before I even agreed to take it. She then insisted on checking the counter blade knob showing me it worked before I took it... I'm only hoping now the same thing dont happen again and gave even purchased a replacement m10 bolt from another supplier as I just done feel the bolt supplied I'd upto the job... Any one else had this problem???
yes for the price range I don't think you can grumble, Bosh do a nice one that's a lot quieter, but you are talking around £440 which is a bit steep, when you can get small petrol chippers for a bit more than that, and they would be able to do much bigger branches.
A truly crap piece of equipment ... They are fine when they are working but cheaply made .. Ive had 2 that have failed with the adjustment no longer working and the metal casing cracking on both ... Was only used in my own garden (not commercially) ..
I have seen a few people saying the adjustment runs out quite quickly, mine is still ok but it hasn't been worked to hard really, so far the only bad thing i would say against it, is about how noisy it is, you need ear defenders that's for sure.
This is an excellent bit of kit, we shredded four hedges with it

You blades are not set. Turn the blue knob . You can see the wood is snaking through into the clear bi
Is it still working my einhell was quieter I think
Does it dismantle for winter with little tools

They roll and crush can adjust
Question. Can you use it with damp/ soaking wet branches?

This makes me hesitant to buy it. But I haven't seen any better for the price
There's a video on you tube about this
Looks a good bit of for the price.

Thank you.
Does a pretty good job and great for annoying the neighbor's 😆
Well it's not as if you use it everyday lol.
Yea the noisier the better.
