Frequently Asked Questions - GDS 150 L GUDE

Can you shred damp branches?

It is recommended to shred slightly damp branches but not too wet to avoid clogging. Freshly cut branches are ideal.

How to clean the shredder after use?

Unplug the device, remove residues with a stiff brush, then wipe with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh products or pressurized water.

What is the maximum branch capacity?

The GDS 150 L accepts branches with a maximum diameter of 45 mm. Beyond that, the motor may stall or be damaged.

How to sharpen the cutting roller?

Sharpening must be done by a professional or with a special kit. Follow the instructions in the manual to disassemble the roller and sharpen it with a fine file.

The shredder is very noisy, is that normal?

Yes, the sound level reaches about 92 dB(A). Always wear hearing protection when using it.

How to avoid jams?

Insert branches one by one pushing them gently. Avoid forked or too woody branches. If a jam occurs, use the reverse function (if available) or clear manually after unplugging.

Can I process green waste like leaves?

Yes, but it is advisable to mix them with branches for better efficiency. Alone, leaves can clump and slow down shredding.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts are available on the official Güde website and at authorized dealers. Always use original parts for safety.

How to start the shredder safely?

Make sure the switch is in position 0 before plugging in. Press the safety button then turn the selector to I. Wear gloves and safety glasses.

What to do if the motor does not start?

First check that the device is powered and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the motor is overloaded, wait 10 minutes for it to cool down then reset the safety.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cordepower tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (groundepower tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock..
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCprotected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions Duplex grinding machine

Make sure the flange used is suitable for the given purpose of use, as specified by the manufacturer.

The power tool must immediately be switched off if it gets blocked. Unplug the power tool and remove the stuck workpiece.

At frequent intervals, check the adjustment of the protection against sparks and set the abrasive wheel wear properly. Keep the distance between the protection against sparks and the abrasive wheel small if possible (max. 2 mm).

At regular intervals, check the workpiece support adjustment and set the abrasive wheel wear properly.

Do not grind with a cold abrasive wheel. Let the abrasive wheel run idle for one minute before starting your work.

Do not grind on the side surfaces of the wheel. Grind on the front side only.

Do not apply the coolant directly on the abrasive

wheel. The coolant may affect the adhesion of the abrasive wheel and cause its failure.
