The STIHL GHE 355 electric shredder handles larger quantities of hard tree cuttings plus softer plant trimmings and garden waste with optimum flexibility and performance. Its powerful motor and sandwich type blade unit incorporate the BRS (Bladerotation Reverse System) reversal mechanism that allows you to adapt the blade unit to the current clippings easily and quickly using a rotary switch.

By activating the BRS in a clockwise direction, sharp blades shred hard and woody material. In an anti-clockwise direction, blades shred soft plant trimmings into compostable material. STIHL’s innovative system allows you to shred large volumes of material while helping maintain the sharpness of the blades for longer.

An electromagnetic safety lock prevents the shredder from starting during maintenance operations or when the blade is being changed. The safety switch is integrated in the opening mechanism . As soon as the closure screws on the machine are unscrewed, the safety switch is tripped and the current flow is interrupted.
