Safety Information
10
Batteries (Where Present)
Batteries present a risk if they become damaged by the possible leaking of electrolyte. This
electrolyte is an acid and can cause serious burn injuries. Care should be taken when working on
or near them.
NOTE
the electrolyte may be in a liquid or gel form.
Should you come in to contact with electrolyte you should;
• Remove all clothing contaminated with
electrolyte. If you cannot remove then saturate them in water.
• Get medical assistance as soon as possible.
You must advise the medical staff of the type of acid.
• Lead/acid battery = dilute sulphuric acid.
• Nickel/cadmium = potassium hydroxide alkali electrolyte.
• Use fresh running water to wash off excess electrolyte, continue this until medical assistance
arrives. Make sure that you do not wash the electrolyte to another part of your body or face.
• If electrolyte comes in to contact with Eyes the electrolyte needs to be immediately washed
away with large amounts of water. Make sure that you do not wash the electrolyte to another part
of your face or body.
• Gasses from charging batteries are highly flammable and great care should be taken to charge
in well ventilated areas.
!
• There is an explosion risk if the battery terminals are short circuited, when
connecting/disconnecting ALWAYS exercise great care so that the terminals or battery
leads are NOT allowed to touch and cause a spark. ALWAYS use suitable insulated tools.
During Use (Continued)
!
• Do not allow the shredded material to build up to a level where it blocks the discharge chute.
If the material builds up too far it could reach the cutting blades and be thrown out of the in-feed
chute.
• Organic material contains a large amount of water and sap that could stick to the shredder. To
avoid this, the material should be left for a few days to dry out. However, large branches are best
shredded when they are fresh.
• If during cutting the blade stalls, stop the shredder immediately and disconnect it from the
mains supply before investigating the cause. Remove and jammed debris from the blades and
examine them for any damage before starting shredding again.
