There are two main types of shredders: blade shredders and roller shredders. Blade shredders are ideal for fine material like leaves and small twigs, while roller shredders are better suited for thicker branches and coarser material.

The blades of a shredder should be regularly checked and sharpened as needed, depending on the frequency of use. A thorough maintenance once a year is recommended.

The shredded material can be used as mulch in the garden to cover the soil and retain moisture. It can also be composted to create nutrient-rich compost for your plants.

It is recommended to shred mainly dry material, as wet material can clog the blades and reduce the performance of the device. Let wet material dry a bit before shredding.

Turn off the shredder and unplug it. Remove all debris and blockages with a brush or stick. Do not use high-pressure cleaners or water hoses to clean the device.

A tiller is used to loosen and aerate the soil, remove weeds, and prepare the soil for planting. It greatly facilitates gardening and promotes the growth of healthy plants.

Tillers can be used in most soil types, from sandy to clayey soils. However, very hard or rocky soils may pose a challenge and require a more powerful model.

The depth of tilling depends on your gardening needs. For planting vegetables and flowers, a depth of about 15-20 cm is sufficient, while deeper tilling may be required for larger plants or trees.

Clean the tiller thoroughly after each use and regularly check the blades for wear. Lubricate moving parts and store the device in a dry place.

It is better to use the tiller in dry or slightly moist soil to avoid clogging and maximize the efficiency of the device.

Manual or motorized augers are suitable for gardening. Manual augers are ideal for smaller projects, while motorized augers are better for larger holes and hard soil.

The size of the auger depends on the task at hand. Smaller augers (up to 10 cm diameter) are suitable for planting holes and fence posts, while larger augers are used for post holes or tree seedlings.

Augers can be used in most soil types, but they are less effective in very rocky or extremely hard soils. In such cases, a more powerful motorized auger may be necessary.

Clean the auger after each use and regularly check the cutting edges. Lubricate moving parts and store the auger in a dry place to prevent rust formation.

If the auger gets stuck, try gently moving it back and forth to loosen it. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage. In stubborn cases, manual removal may be necessary.

Shears are manually operated and are suitable for precise cutting tasks on plants and shrubs. Trimmers are electric or petrol-powered devices used for larger areas and thicker branches.

Clean the blades after each use and sharpen them regularly with a sharpening stone. Lubricate the joints and store the shears in a dry place.

It is not ideal to use a trimmer on wet grass as this can affect performance and cause clogging. Dry or slightly damp grass is best for using a trimmer.

Always wear safety goggles and gloves. Keep the trimmer away from your body and be careful not to hit stones or other hard objects that could be thrown back.

The chain should be sharpened regularly, depending on the frequency of use. For heavy use, it is advisable to sharpen the chain after every third or fourth use.

Clean the chainsaw after each use, check the chain for wear, and sharpen it as needed. Regularly lubricate the chain and guide bar, and check the oil level.

Always wear safety goggles, gloves, hearing protection, and protective trousers. Make sure to wear sturdy footwear and follow the chainsaw’s operating instructions.

Compressors can be used for various garden tasks, such as inflating tires, cleaning tools and equipment, operating pneumatic tools, and irrigation.

Yes, compressors can be used in conjunction with special spraying devices and irrigation systems to ensure even water distribution.

Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. Ensure the compressor is on a stable surface and the air hoses are properly connected. Avoid overpressure and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

The right leaf blower depends on the size of your garden and the amount of leaves. Battery-powered or electric leaf blowers are suitable for smaller gardens, while petrol-powered models are better suited for larger areas.

Yes, leaf blowers can also be used to clean walkways, driveways, and patios. Some models even have a vacuum and mulching function that shreds the leaves and collects them in a bag.

The required pressure depends on the cleaning task. For light cleaning tasks, 100-130 bar is sufficient, while tough dirt and large areas may require a pressure of 130-200 bar.

Yes, many pressure washers have a special container for detergents. Be sure to use a suitable detergent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Use the oil recommended by the manufacturer. This may vary depending on the engine type and operating conditions. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on the correct type of oil.

Clean the engine regularly and check the air filter for blockages. Change the oil according to the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure all moving parts are well lubricated.

Store the engine in a dry, frost-free place. Let the engine cool completely before storage, and empty the fuel tank if the engine will not be used for an extended period.

The load capacity of a dumper varies depending on the model. Smaller dumpers can carry loads up to 500 kg, while larger models can handle loads of several tons.

Dumpers are versatile and can be used on various surfaces such as soil, gravel, and asphalt. However, be sure to consider load limits and terrain conditions.

A dumper is a small utility vehicle used to transport heavy loads such as soil, gravel, or construction materials. It is especially useful on construction sites and in garden and landscape maintenance.

Multi-purpose machines, such as the powerful KS 7HP-MFM 60 from Könner & Söhnen, are versatile devices designed for a variety of agricultural and gardening tasks throughout the year.

These machines feature their own drive system and active attachments, requiring no additional effort from the user. Thanks to the various attachments, a multi-purpose machine can handle numerous tasks, such as clearing snow, dust, dirt, and fallen leaves, as well as leveling the ground.

It is important to use attachments that are compatible with your machine. Check the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure that the attachments fit and function properly.
