aged by ejected material.
• Before you start up the shredder, check
that all of the nuts, bolts and other
fastenings are tight. Covers must be
fastened properly and in good working
order. Replace any damaged or illegible
stickers.
• Only use replacement parts and acces-
sories supplied and recommended by
the manufacturer. Using third-party parts
will immediately invalidate the guaran-
tee.
• Do not leave the shredder working unat-
tended and keep it in a dry place out of
children’s reach.
• Only connect the shredder to a prop-
erly earthed mains power supply. Make
sure that the extension cable and socket
are properly earthed.
• While being used in the open, connect
the shredder to a residual current (RC)
circuit breaker with a trip current of not
more than 30 mA.
Working with the device:
• Make sure that the funnel feeder is
empty before you start the shredder.
• Keep your head, hair and body away
from the intake opening.
• Do not reach into the funnel feeder dur-
ing operation. The shredder will continue
to run for a short period after you switch
it off.
• Always make sure you are standing in
a firm, balanced position. Do not lean
forwards, and never stand above the
shredder when inserting materials.
• Make sure that the material inserted
into the shredder does not contain hard
objects made of metal, stone, glass or
similar.
• Do not use the shredder in the rain and
in bad weather. Work in daylight or un-
der good lighting conditions.
• Do not operate the shredder when you
are tired or distracted, or under the influ-
ence of alcohol or medication. Always
take a break when you need one and be
sensible about how you work.
• Switch the shredder off and pull the plug
under the following circumstances:
- when you are not using the device,
- transporting it or leaving it unattend-
ed;
- before releasing a jammed blade.
- when you are checking the device,
cleaning it or removing blockages;
- when you are carrying out cleaning
or maintenance work or replacing ac-
cessories;
- Before moving or lifting the shredder
- If foreign objects should enter the
shredder, if the shredder is making
unfamiliar noises or vibrations (check
the shredder for damage before start-
ing it up again)
• Do not allow shredded material to accu-
mulate near the ejection area. This may
otherwise hinder proper ejection and
force the material back up through the
feeder.
• Do not transport or tip the shredder with
the motor running.
• Keep hands, other body parts and
clothing out of the filling chamber and
ejection channel and away from other
moving parts.
• In the event of blockages in the ma-
chine intake or ejection, switch off the
motor and disconnect the machine
from the mains before removing
leftover material in the intake opening
or ejection channel. Ensure that the
motor is free of rubbish and other ac-
cumulations in order to safeguard the
motor from damage or possible fire.
