The garden shredders are suitable for private use in gardens

As garden shredders for private gardens and allotments are
considered such devices that are not applied in public facilities,
parks, and sports facilities as well as in agriculture and forestry
on a commercial basis.
The intended usage also includes compliance with the operat-
ing, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by the manufac-
turer and following the safety instructions included in the in-
structions.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting from
this: the user bears the sole risk.
Unauthorised modifications on the garden shredder exclude a
liability of the manufacturer for damages of any kind resulting
from it.
Only persons who are familiarised with the device and informed
about possible risks are allowed to prepare, operate and ser-
vice this device. Repair works may only be carried out by us or
by a customer service agent nominated by us.

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety information” and
the “Intended usage” as well as the whole of the original in-
structions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will re-
duce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
