12 EN Safety instructions
Keep the air vents clear of dirt.
After use, unplug the machine and check it for damage.
When you are not using the shredder, keep it in a dry place out of the reach of children.
Check the screws regularly to see that they are properly tightened.
The mains voltage must be the same as the voltage specified on the rating plate.
Power cables used with the shredder must not be of a lighter duty class than HO7RN-F
rubberinsulated flexible cables according to DIN 57282/ VDE 0282 with a minimum
diameter of 1.5 mm2.
Plug connectors must be equipped with earthing contacts and the coupling must be
rainwaterprotected.
Use only original replacement parts for repair and maintenance purposes.
Have repairs carried out only by a qualified electrician.
Examine the shredder for signs of wear or damage each time before you use it and after any
collisions. Have essential repairs carried out without delay.
Never use replacement parts or accessories which are not foreseen or recommended by the
manufacturer.
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any inspection, cleaning or other work on the
shredder and whenever it is not being used.
Before you begin your work, examine the material you want to shred. Remove any foreign
bodies.
Continue to watch out for foreign bodies while you are working. If you come across any foreign
bodies while shredding, shut down the machine and remove the items in question.
Keep the machine away from other persons, particularly children and pets.
Use the machine only in the way described in these operating instructions.
The electric circuit must be protected at least by a 16A fuse.
The efficiency of the machine will be greatly reduced if a connecting cable with too small a
cross section is used. A conductor cross section of at least 3x1.5 mm2 is required for cables
up to 25 m long, and one of at least 3x2.5 mm2 for cables longer than 25 m.
If the machine has to be lifted for transporting, be sure to switch off the motor first and wait
for the cutter to come to a standstill. Each time before you leave the machine, switch off the
motor and pull out the power plug. Before you connect the machine to the power supply,
make sure that the loading funnel is properly connected to the motor housing and the release
screw tightened.
If the garden refuse shredder vibrates excessively, turn off the motor, pull out the power plug,
and find out immediately what is causing the vibrations. Intensive vibration is usually a sign
that something is wrong.
Do not wear loose clothing or clothing with hanging belts or cords.
Do not use the machine on a paved area that has been graveled where discharged material
may cause injuries.
