General notes on safety
• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv-
en supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to en-
sure that they do not play with the ap-
pliance.
• 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.
• Do not use the machine on a paved,
gravelled area, which could be dam-
aged by ejected material.
• Before you start up the shredder, check
that all of the nuts, bolts and other fasten-
ings are tight. Covers must be fastened
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.
Working with the device:
• Make sure that the funnel feeder is empty
before you start the shredder.
• Keep your head, hair and body away
from the intake opening.
• Do not reach into the funnel feeder during
operation. The shredder will continue to
run for a short period after you switch it
off.
• Always make sure you are standing in a
firm, balanced position. Do not lean for-
wards, and never stand above the shred-
der when inserting materials.
• Make sure that the material inserted
into the shredder does not contain hard
objects made of metal, stone, glass or
similar.
• Do not use the shredder in the rain and in
bad weather. Work in daylight or under
good lighting conditions.
