If there are any blockages on the cutting unit and
ejector, switch off the engine, remove the spark
plug and clean the cutting unit with a suitable tool.
Always turn off the engine when there is a delay in
shredding or when moving the machine from one
location to another.
Caution with rotating tools -
keep a safe distance!
Be careful with trailing tools. Shredding blades can
trail due to the flywheel mass. Only when the tools
have come to a complete standstill, the motor
switch is in the OFF position and the spark plug
connector has been removed, may work be carried
out on the machine.
Do not reach into the running machine (infeed
chute / ejection chute) during the function test of
the shredding blades.
Never work without protective devices. The
effectiveness of the safety and protective devices
must not be inadmissibly influenced or cancelled.
Commissioning of the machine at a higher speed
than recommended in the
technical data
may
damage the motor.
High speed increases the risk
of accidents!
The drive must be switched off immediately in the
event of noticeable changes in the behaviour of
the machine.
End of work
Do not leave the machine running unattended
while the engine is running.
When leaving the machine (even for short
interruptions), switch off the engine and secure
the machine against unauthorised use. For model
versions with an ignition key, pull it out, otherwise
remove the spark plug connector.
Park the machine so that it cannot tip over, fall
down or slide away.
Store the machine properly when not in use. After
operation, store the machine in a locked, clean,
frost-protected and dry place that is inaccessible to
children.
5.3
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
When handling the machine, it is essential to wear
personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimise
any risk to the operator. The following protective
measures must be observed:
–
Tight-fitting
work clothes
that do not hinder
movement. It is mainly used to protect against
being caught by moving parts.
–
Noise protection devices
such as hearing
protectors, capsules, etc. to protect against
hearing damage.
ATTENTION!
Noise can be harmful to health. If
the permissible noise level of 80 dB(A) is
exceeded, hearing protection must be worn.
–
Mouthguard
to protect against respiratory
diseases, to retain fine dust or particles.
–
Safety goggles with side protection
to protect
eyes from dust or splinters.
–
Work gloves
made of strong leather, to protect
against sharp edges, splinters or excessive
vibration.
–
Safety shoes or boots
with steel caps to protect
against uneven, sharp-edged surfaces or falling
objects. The safety footwear also ensures a safe
stand.
–
Safety helmet
to protect the head from falling
parts and swinging loads. It can also prevent
injury in confined situations.
5.4
Transport
For transport on motor vehicles or trailers and
before each change of location, switch off the
engine and wait for the working tools to come to a
standstill. Then disconnect spark plug connector
and close fuel switch (if present).
Only transport the machine upright.
5.5
Safe handling of operating materials /
refuelling
WARNING!
Combustion engines pose a particular danger
during operation and refuelling. Always read and
follow the warning instructions and, in parallel,
the additional safety instructions given later in
this manual. Failure to do so may result in serious
or even fatal injury.
Do not start or run engine indoors, in garages, or in
enclosed areas. The exhaust gases from the engine
contain toxic carbon monoxide. Being in an
