accidents or dangers affecting other persons or their property.
Preparation
a) Use ear protection and protective goggles. Wear them during the
whole operating time of the device.

the device. Do not operate the device with bare feet or with open
sandals. Avoid wearing loose clothing or clothing with dangling

f) Always perform a visual check before use to ensure that the shredder,
the bolts of the shredder and other fasteners are secure, that the

shields are all in place. If any components are worn or damaged,
replace the complete set to maintain balance. Replace any damaged

g) Before use, check the voltage supply and the mains cord for signs
of damage or ageing. If the mains cord is damaged during use, the
mains connection line must be immediately disconnected from the

Do not touch the mains cord as long as it has not yet been
disconnected from the mains
as this could result in contact with live
parts. Do not use the device if the mains cord is damaged or worn.
