Even if the appliance is used in accordance with the
regulations, residual risks resulting from the design of the
appliance may exist in spite of adhering to all the respective
safety provisions.
Such residual risks can be minimized by the observance of
the "safety instructions" and "intended use" as well as of this
instruction manual.
Consideration and carefulness during work itself reduce risk of
injury or other damage.
• Risk of injury to fingers and hands if you put your hand in the
opening and get in the area of knives.
• Risk of injury to fingers and hands during assembly and
cleaning of the chipping cutter.
• Risk of injury caused by shot pieces of crushed material in the
area of the hopper.
• Risk of electric shock in the case of use of incorrect power
supply.
• Contact with the live parts during opening of electric parts of
the appliance.
• Risk for hearing in the case of prolonged work without a hearing
protector.
In spite of all undertaken measures, there may be other hidden
residual risks.
The intended use covers the crushing (chipping) of
− branches of all types up to the max. diameter (indepen-
dence upon wood species and freshness)
− withered, moistened, already for several days dumped
garden waste alternately with branches.
Crushing of glass, metals, plastics, plastic bags, stones,
textile waste, roots with soil, waste of nonsolid consisten-
cy (such as kitchen waste) is expressly forbidden.
The garden chipper is suitable only for use in households
and gardens.
The appliances which are not used in public areas, parks,
sports facilities or for agricultural of forestry purposes are
considered to be chippers for household or hobby-garden
use.
This section includes also observance of the
manufacturer's instructions for maintenance, service and
potential repairs or cleaning of the unit. The same applies
to all safety instructions. Any other use of the unit does
not belong to the scope of allowed operation of the ma-
chine and if any damage results from such uses, all risks
resulting from them must be borne by the user.
No wilful modifications of the unit are unacceptable and
exclude all liability of the manufacturer for damage caused
by such modifications.
The chipper may be used and its adjustment and mainte-
nance may be carried out only by the persons who have
been familiarized with such activities and who have been
advised on potential risks resulting from them. Potential
repairs may be carried out, besides the manufacturer, only
by authorized service companies.

Specification of the intended use
Residual risks
Electric appliances should not be disposed
of together with household waste. Submit the
unit, its accessories and packing for recycling
in order to protect the environment. According
to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and
electronic equipment, discarded electric appliances should
be collected separately and supplied for the environment-
friendly disposal. The owner of an electric appliance is
bound to cooperate on professional disposal instead of
sending it back after the termination of ownership. An
appliance which has reached the end of its service life can
be submitted to an authorized collection company which
shall carry out its disposal in accordance with the applicable
acts on waste and recycling. This provision does not apply
to the parts of accessories attached to the appliance and
aids without electric components.
