Product overview
The GS 340is is a battery-powered garden shredder designed for straightforward debris clearance after pruning and tidying. It folds flat for compact storage, has onboard storage for small tools, and includes user-friendly features such as automatic gear speed adjustment and Auto Reverse to help clear jams. It forms part of Husqvarna’s 36V BLi‑X battery system (battery sold separately).
Automatic speed that adapts to the job
Smart Speed Adjustment increases gear speed as the machine meets thicker branches, which helps maintain throughput and optimises runtime from a single battery.
Fewer stoppages and easier clearing
Auto Reverse attempts to clear clogged branches automatically by pushing the branch back up and re‑feeding it several times, reducing the need for manual intervention.
Compact storage and tidy workshop
Quick Fold lets the feeding unit fold into the collection box so the top is flat and the unit stores neatly. Integrated lifting handles and a foot grip make it easier to move and load.

Key features
Smart Speed Adjustment
Automatic gear speed adjustment for effortless use and optimised runtime. The gears speed up as the shredder encounters thicker branches.
Auto Reverse
Auto Reverse for easy and automatic clearing of clogged branches. When a large branch gets stuck in the intake feed, the shredder pushes it back up and re-feeds it. The process is repeated several times if necessary, until it is successfully shredded.
Onboard Storage
Dedicated storage position for easy access to the Allen key and pushing stick.
Service Hatch
The service hatch provides easy access to gears and facilitates maintenance, cleaning and clearing of stuck debris.
Bag liner Holder
Bag holder for secured use and easy disposal of the shredded material.
Foot Grip
The foot-grip area makes it convenient to tilt the shredder, facilitating moving and transporting.
Lifting Handles
Integrated front and back lifting handles ensure easy lifting and transport.
Quick Fold
The feeding unit can be folded into the collection box, making the product more compact and easier to store. Folding is quickly done with a lever, and the top of the shredder becomes flat so boxes can be stored on top of it.
Compatible with Husqvarna tool holders
Possible to store accessories like secateurs, pruner, folding saw, etc, on the machine for easy access. The holders snap into place along the onboard storage rail, ensuring your tools are firmly stored.
Low-noise Gear System
Low gear speed for pleasant operation with low noise level.
Magnetic Lock
Easy handling is ensured with the magnetic lock, providing simple opening and closing. Positioned on the front of the box and shredder frame, it secures the box firmly in place when collecting shredded debris.
Interchangeable Battery System
Husqvarna’s flexible 36V system BLi-X offers battery power for everything from light and demanding homeowner tasks to professional use. One battery can be used for several tools, and the wide range of options, from lightweight integrated to backpack batteries, makes it easy to find a tailored, powerful solution that perfectly suits your task at hand. All the batteries deliver high performance, are built to be used over a long time, and can be recharged and swapped quickly for continuous use.
User Interface
User-friendly interface with a clear start button, large stop button and clear error indications for optimal use. The battery status LED indicator allows you to easily monitor battery capacity, ensuring efficient task planning and well-timed charging.

FAQs
Will this fit my machine?
Fitment can vary by model and deck size. Send us your mower model (and deck size if applicable) and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order.
Do I need any extra brackets or fitting kits?
Some accessories require a mounting kit or specific brackets depending on your machine. If you’re unsure, ask us and we’ll advise the correct setup.
Can you fit it for me?
Yes — if you’d like installation, let us know when ordering and we can arrange fitting (collection, workshop fit, or on-site depending on the product).
Does the GS 340is come with a battery?
No. The product is supplied as a bare unit; batteries and chargers are sold separately. The shredder is compatible with Husqvarna’s 36V BLi‑X battery range.
What size branches can it handle?
The recommended maximum twig diameter is 40 mm. For best results feed material gradually rather than forcing larger branches through the intake.
How do I clear a jam and maintain the shredder?
Use Auto Reverse first to clear lodged material. If manual access is required, isolate and remove the battery, open the service hatch for access to the gears and clear debris with the push stick. Regularly remove shredded material from the collector box and inspect the cutting gear for wear; follow the safety instructions in the user manual.
