7.3.2. Careful and sensible use
• This machine is designed solely for shredding branches, prunings, leaves and all other green garden
debris. It should never be used for any other purposes than the ones indicated above.
• Never attempt to shred frozen branches.
• Ensure that you are concentrating on each of your actions as you use the machine. Do not let rou-
tine use of the machine dull your attention. Never act impulsively or reflexively.
• Despite the extensive safety features, do not take any reckless risks.
• Never allow any tools to enter the feeding hopper.
• Avoid allowing any other objects to enter the hopper (cords, stones, metal, plastic, textile, etc.)
• This model can shred branches with a maximum diameter of up to 100 mm. For your own safety, it is
imperative that you never attempt to surpass this limit.
• The machine is not designed to be subjected to the stated maximum capacity (the maximum branch
diameter) for long periods. As a guideline: no more than 10% of the waste to be shredded should
have a branch diameter above 70 mm.
• Never use a step to feed garden waste into the feeding hopper.
• Do not use a garden fork or a shovel to feed green waste into the machine.
• Do not use your foot to push green waste into the infeed opening.
• Ensure that your working space has a minimum light intensity of 500 lux.
• Always remember to lock the wheels while the machine is operating to avoid the machine from
moving unintentionally.
• For deontological reasons, ELIET distances itself completely from the shredding of animals and living
organisms through the use of its machines.
• When working with the shredder, try to feed as much waste as possible into the right side of the
infeed funnel, so that it stays as long as possible in the shredding chamber before being ejected.
7.3.3. Responsibilities of the operator
• The person working with the machine should be familiar with all safety instructions. The opera-
tor is fully liable when using the machine, in regard to themselves and others.
• Operators are presumed to possess a certain level of maturity that permits them to make deci-
sions based on common sense.
• Underage persons must not operate the machine. However, this does not apply to youths above
the age of 16 who are learning to operate the machine under the supervision of an adult. This
manual must be read before using the machine for the first time.
• Children below the age of 16 and animals must be kept away from the machine (10 m - 30 ft).
