■ Do not allow processed material to build up in
the discharge zone; this may prevent proper
discharge and can result in kickback of material
through the feed intake opening.
■ If the machine becomes clogged, shut off the
power source and disconnect from supply
before clearing debris. Keep the power source
clear of debris and other accumulations to
prevent damage to the power source or possible
fire. Remember that operating the starting
mechanism on engine powered machines will
still cause the cutting means to move.
■
Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in
good working condition.
■ Do not transport the machine whilst connected
to a live power source.
■ Always switch the shredder off and disconnect
from the power source whenever you leave the
work area.
■ Do not tilt the machine whilst the unit is running.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
■ When the machine is stopped for servicing,
inspection, storage, or to change an accessory,
disconnect the power source, make sure that all
moving parts have come to a complete stop and,
where a key is fitted remove the key. Allow the
machine to cool before making any inspections,
adjustments, etc.
■ The unit is fitted with an interlock feature which
will disable the shredder from operation when
the metal housing is removed. When servicing
the cutting means be sure to disconnect the
power supply as a secondary precaution. Always
wear protective equipment when servicing
blades, as the sharp edges are capable of
inflicting serious injury.
■
Turn the shredder off and wait for all moving
parts to stop before clearing the clippings or
attaching or removing a collection device from
the front of the debris chute.
■
Cord replacement should only be carried out by
an authorised person or by a Ryobi authorised
service centre.
