General notes on safety
• The device must not be used by people
(including children) with limited physical,
sensory or mental faculties or who lack
the necessary experience and/or knowl-
edge - other than they are supervised by
a person responsible for safety or are be-
ing instructed to operate the trimmer by
such a person.
• Keep the equipment away from children
and pets. Children must be supervised in
order to ensure that they do not play with
the equipment.
• Never allow children or other persons
unfamiliar with the user manual to use
the shredder. Local regulations or bylaws
may determine the minimum age for us-
ing the shredder.
Observe noise control and local regu-
lations.
Caution! When using power tools,
observe the following basic safety
measures for the prevention of
electric shocks and the risk of injury
and fire:
Preparation:
• Never use the shredder with other per-
sons or animals nearby.
• Wear hearing and eye protection at all
times when using the shredder.
• Wear appropriate protective clothing
such as protective gloves, firm footwear
and long trousers. Do not wear loosely
fitting clothes or clothes with dangling
cords or belts.
• Only use the shredder in the open (that
is, away from walls or other rigid struc-
tures) on a firm, level surface.

gravelled area, which could be dam-

properly and in good working order. Re-
place 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 guarantee.
• 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 properly
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.
