Operation
a) Before you start the device, make sure that the feeder is empty.
b) Keep your face and your body away from the intake.
c) Ensure that your hands, other body parts or clothing are not in the
feeder, the discharge duct or near moving parts.
d) Make sure that you maintain your balance and that you assume a
stable stance, especially when working on slopes. Do not overreach.
When feeding material into the device, never stand on a higher level
than the level on which the device is set up.
e) Walk, do not run.
f) When operating the device, stay out of the discharge zone.
g) Be extremely careful when feeding material into the device to ensure
that no pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign objects
are fed into it.
h) Immediately switch off the power supply and wait until the device
has come to a stop if the shredder comes into contact with a foreign
object or if the device starts to vibrate strongly. Disconnect the device
from the mains and take the following steps before restarting and
operating the device:
• check for damage;
• replace or repair any damaged parts;
• check for loose parts and tighten them.
i) Ensure that processed material does not accumulate in the discharge
zone as this will impair the proper discharge of material and result in
material being drawn back into the device via the intake.
j) If the device is plugged, switch the power source off and disconnect it
from the mains before you remove the debris.
k) Never operate the device if the protective equipment or shields are
defective or if the safety fixtures, such as collector bag, are not in
place or attached.
