I asked the reason for the malfunction and if there is the economic possibility of being able to solve it by purchasing, if necessary, the relative spare part.

Hopelessly unreliable, this shredder. I have twice had mine replaced under guarantee because it kept turning itself off (as per Norman P) and now my third one has started to do it, But I am now out of guarantee. Don't buy one!

We’ve already mentioned that the Bosch AXT Rapid has been around for a while. It was designed and constructed to last – a particular Bosch trait. Where problems do occur Bosch’s customer service is second to none. You really can’t go wrong. Not many people have a belt sander at home, but if you know someone who does, it could be worth paying them a visit. Belt sanders work in a similar way to disc sanders and grinders, with one big difference – rather than putting your blades into a vice and running the sander over them, the sander remains stationary and it’s your blades that move over it.

Manual

When the shredder starts up after a period of inactivity, therefore with a cold engine, it immediately revs up and then switches off automatically.

As you can see – the Bosch blade is quite chunky. To stop vibration the blade needs to stay balanced. Sharpening, unless done professionally, is likely to unbalance the blade. Using an impact shredder with unbalanced blades create vibration and increased noise levels.

More about this manual

Wet wheel grinders were designed for sharpening, making them the best tool to use for sharpening garden shredder blades. Since these have a built-in vice, along with a guide that will help you to maintain a consistent angle, wet wheel grinders will give you the most accurate finish. The AXT copes with a very wide range of garden waste. Even pretty big branches, right up to the claimed 40mm upper limit, are efficiently chopped into 1mm chips ideal for composting. We’ve fed it a mixed diet of laurel, leylandii, apple, bramble, elm, plum, beech, rose, holly and pyracantha. Everything gets chopped up neatly and efficiently. Even the thorny stuff like brambles, holly and the particularly vicious pyracantha are reduced to such small pieces that the thorns are no longer an issue and the shredded waste is safe to handle. If the shredder is in and out of the shed regularly, you’ll need one that’s easy to manoeuvre. Look for large wheels and comfortable handles and if weight is an issue, opt for an impact shredder which will be much lighter to lift and move. Ear defenders are very much recommended – sound levels from this shredder are around 103-105dB. This is well into the danger zone. Obviously it gets noisier while it is chopping wood. You might like to consider a quieter model if you have particularly sensitive neighbours.
