
When running the connection line observe that it does not
interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection
does not get wet.

Keep the extension cable away from dangerous moving
parts to prevent damages to the cable, which can result in
touching live parts.

Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.

Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant.
Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not
use the cable to pull the plug from the socket.

Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if
they are damaged.

Please note that no damage cable must be connected to the
power supply and no damaged cable may be touched
before it was separated from the power supply since
damaged cables may touch active components.

Do not use any defective connection cables.

When working outdoors, only use extension cables
especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor
use.

Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.

Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.

Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit
breaker (30 mA).
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts
of the machine must be carried out by a certified
electrician or one of our customer service points.
Local regulations – especially regarding protective
measures – must be observed.
If the power cord (if available) of this machine is
damaged, it must be replaced by a specific power
cord that can be purchased from the manufacturer or
customer service.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried
out by the manufacturer or one of his customer
service points.
Use only original spare. Accidents can arise for the
user through the use of other spare parts. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such action.
Behaviour in an emergency situation

Initiate all required first aid measures suited for the injury
and seek qualified medical advice as quickly as possible.

Protect the injured person against further injuries and
immobilise the injured person.
Commissioning

Check that the machine is completely and correctly
assembled.

Make sure before starting the machine that the feeding
device (the filling hopper) is empty.

To avoid toppling, place the shredder on a firm horizontal
surface.

Avoid working on moist surfaces. A moist surface affects the
safe footing of the machine and increases the risk of
accidents.

Do not use this machine on a paved or gravel-covered area
on which thrown out material can cause injury.

Do not work directly near swimming pools or garden ponds.

The machine should only be operated in the open. Always
maintain a safe distance (at least 2 m) from walls or other
fixed objects.

Do not operate the machine in bad weather conditions.

Before each use,
−
Check the supply / extension cable for damages (cracks,
cuts or the like) or ageing (brittleness).
Do not use defective supply or extension
cables.
−
Check there are no damage at the machine (see safety
instructions).
−
Make sure that the shredder tool is neither worn out nor
damaged and that it is properly secured.
−
Check that all screws, nuts and bolts as well as other
fasteners are securely tightened.
−
Check that covers, deflectors and protective shields are
on their correct position and in good working condition.
Mains connection

Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g.
230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to
the relevant and properly earthed plug.

Connect the machine via a circuit breaker switch (residual-
current-operated circuit switch) 30 mA.

Always use three-conductor extension cables with
connected earthing conductor and sufficient cross section.

Electrical mains supply impedance
When conditions in the electrical mains supply are un-
favourable, voltage reductions for short periods can occur
during the process of turning on the equipment, which can
adversely affect other equipment (e.g., the flickering of a lamp).
No breakdowns are to be expected if the maximum, electrical
mains supply impedances given in the table are met.
