7.3.4 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• You must wear suitable clothing to operate this machine. That is, clothing covering the whole
body, heavy protective gloves and closed nonslip footwear.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing (a shawl, for instance, should be avoided by all means). Long
hair should be contained using a cap or a headband, or worn in a ponytail.
• For the protection of the most sensitive senses, ELIET recommends ear defenders and safety
goggles.
• Shredding may result in dust production. If this dust irritates your lungs, we recommend that
you wear a dust mask conform to directive 89/686/EC.
7.3.5 Danger zone

of the danger zone
• During the work, do not allow bystanders to enter the zone of danger that stretches up to 10m
around the machine. Do not take any risks and immediately stop the machine as soon as anyone
enters the danger area.
• When leaving the machine, the engine must be switched off. Always wait until the blades come
to a complete standstill before carrying out any operation. Once the engine is running, focus
all your attention on operating the machine.
7.3.6 Periodic maintenance
• Periodic maintenance is essential. For this reason, strictly follow the maintenance schedule in
this user manual (“11. Maintenance tasks described in detail” on page 40).
• When replacing parts as a result of wear or failure, always request genuine ELIET service parts
from your ELIET dealer. This is important in the interests of your own safety.
• Always make sure the engine is switched off and the battery cables disconnected before per-
forming repairs or maintenance.
