Garden Shredder Einhell GC-KS 2540 CB

The Einhell GC-KS 2540 CB electric garden shredder is designed for efficient processing of garden waste such as branches and shrub cuttings. It is driven by a 2,500 W motor and cuts material down to manageable pieces for collection in the transparent 55 L debris box. The unit is compact and relatively light at around 13 kg, with wheels and an integrated transport handle for easy movement around the garden.

Advantages

The shredder uses two reversible hardened steel blades and a high no-load speed (4,500 rpm) to provide powerful, continuous shredding performance. A large funnel opening accepts branches up to 40 mm diameter and includes a safety interlock that swings down for cleaning and maintenance. Additional safety features include a motor circuit breaker to protect against overload and a safety switch on the collection box. A prodder is supplied for safely dislodging material stuck in the funnel.
