This LawnMaster impact shredder features a carbon steel, rapid cutting blade rotating at 3940 RPM that quickly cuts through leafy clippings and soft wood branches measuring up to 40mm in diameter. T-Drive maintains the blade torque at around 12Nm for excellent cutting performance. Use the chippings as a mulch in the garden to help suppress weeds, enhance nutrients and retain soil moisture, or to reduce the volume of clippings and prunings to get more into the composter or green waste bin. Comes with a safety plunger to feed leafy material into the shredder and keep hands safely out of the hopper. The machine is protected by a safety interlock switch, preventing the shredder from operating without the hopper cover fitted. The safety interlocked hopper can be opened without the need for tools making blade changes and clearing blockages quick and easy. Overload cut out protects the motor from overheating. The double-sided carbon steel blade can be flipped over for double the blade life. A
