Product details

The Einhell electric blade shredder GC-KS 2540 CB shreds shredded material quickly and reliably. The two robust and durable reversible blades made of special steel, driven by a powerful motor with 2,500
watts and an idle speed of 4,500 min^-1, ensure effective operation. The large-dimensioned hopper opening allows a handy operation and good feeding of the shredding material up to a branch diameter of 40 mm. The hopper is equipped with a safety seal and can be folded down for cleaning and maintenance. The safety switch on the catcher box also ensures the best possible safety during use. A motor protection switch is provided to protect against overload. Thanks to the robust chassis with its wheels, the user can transport the blade shredder quickly and conveniently to the desired place of use in the garden and on the green at home. A practical transport handle is integrated for this purpose. The Einhell electric blade shredder GC-KS 2540 CB is equipped with a catch box. The supplied tamper enables quick and safe feeding of shredded material remaining in the hopper.
