= 2,84 dB guaranteed ............................. 106 dB The sound values were determined in accordance with the sound measurement procedure of EN ISO 3744:1995

• Continuous operation with intermittent loading (40-second loading - 60-second idling) ** The maximum thickness of branch that can be shredded depends on the type of wood and properties of the shred- ding material. The maximum choppable branch thick- ness for hard wood (e.g. oak/beech branches) is less than for soft wood (e.g. pine/spruce wood). Dry or gnarled wood also means a reduction in the thickness that can be shredded. Levels of noise were determined according to the norms and regulations in the decla- ration of conformity.
