• Think about what you are doing whenever you operate the machine. Do not be tempted to let
routine dull your attention. Never act impulsively or in refl ex.
• Despite the extensive safety features, do not seek out dangerous situations.
• This machine is designed solely for shredding branches, prunings, leaves and all kinds of or-

material to be processed may exceed 120 mm.
• Never use steps or other object to stand on when placing garden waste in the hopper.
