ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHREDDERS

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Recommendations for the use of a residual current device 

with a rated residual

current of 30mA or less.

•   Only use the shredder in dry conditions and never outdoors when it is raining.

•   Do not allow children or any person who has not read this instruction manual or

who is not familiar with the shredder.

•   Remember that the operator may be held responsible for accidents or hazards

occurring to other people and/or their property.

•   Ensure the shredder is placed on a firm and level surface prior to using.

•   Before starting the shredder, ensure the chute is empty.

•   Never use the shredder with damaged safety devices or without protection. 

•   Never operate the shredder unless the chute is in place and securely fastened.

•   Wear ear protection when operating the shredder.

•   Never look directly into the outlet while the shredder is running as loose debris

may be ejected.

•   Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge chute. This may

prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback of material through the feeding
hopper.

•   If the machine becomes clogged, switch off the machine and disconnect from the

power. Allow the cutter to come to a stop. Clear debris from the cutter assembly.

•   Never attempt to shred bones, stone, glass, metals, plastic or rags.

•   Ensure the customer assembled screws and nuts are properly tightened.

•   Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and avoid loose clothing.

WARNING! Rotating cutter head. Keep hands and feet out of openings.

•   Store shredder upright in a dry place when not in use.

•   Never put your hands in the cutter area while the cutter assembly is running or the

shredder is plugged in. The cutter continues to run for a few seconds after the
shredder has been switched off.

•   If the cutter strikes any foreign objects or if the shredder starts making any unusual

noise or vibration, switch off the shredder immediately and disconnect the power.
Allow the cutter to come to a stop and take the following steps:

- Inspect for damage

- Check and tighten any loose parts

- Have any damaged parts replaced and/or repaired by an electrician or power 

tool repairer.

•   Always switch off the shredder and disconnect the power whenever you leave the

work area.
