ensure it is suitable for outdoor use and 

has a current capacity rating sufficient to 

supply your product. Check it before every 

use for damage, always uncoil it during 

use because coiled cords can overheat. 

Damaged extension cords should not be 

repaired, they should be replaced with an 

equivalent type.

 

Keep extension cords away from moving 

hazardous parts to avoid damages to the 

cords, which can lead to contact with live 

parts.

 

Use an outdoor extension safety box that 

has a suitable ingress protection (IP) rating 

together with extension cords.

SHREDDER SAFETY WARNINGS

OPERATION

 

Before starting the product, look into the 

feeding chamber to make certain that it is 

empty.

 

Keep your face and body away from the 

feed intake opening.

 

Do not allow hands or any other part of 

the body or clothing inside the feeding 

chamber, discharge chute, or near any 

moving part.

 

Always be sure of your footing. Keep firm 

footing and balance at all times. Do not 

overreach. Never stand at a higher level 

than the base of the product when feeding 

material into it. Be careful when using the 

product on slopes. Walk, never run.

 

Always stand clear of the discharge zone 

when operating the product.

 

When feeding material into the product 

be extremely careful that pieces of metal, 

rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign objects 

are not included.

 

If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign 

objects or if the product should start making 

any unusual noise or vibration, turn off the 

product and allow the cutters to completely 

stop. Disconnect the product from its power 

supply, and take the following steps:

 

inspect for damage;

 

check for and tighten any loose parts;

 

have any damaged parts replaced or 

repaired with genuine RYOBI spare 

parts.

 

Do not allow processed material to build up 

in the discharge chute as this may prevent 

proper discharge or blockage and can 

result in kickback of material through the 

feed intake opening.

 

If the product becomes clogged, turn off the 

product and allow the cutters to completely 

stop. Disconnect the product from its power 

supply before clearing debris.

 

Never operate the product if the guards, 

covers, collection bin, or other safety 

devices are defective, not in place, and not 

in good working order.

 

If dust is created by the shredding process, 

wear a suitable dust mask to prevent 

respiratory injury.

 

Do not move or transport the product while 

the motor is running.

 

Turn off the product and disconnect from 

the power supply. Make sure all moving 

parts have come to a complete stop:

 

before leaving the product unattended

 

before clearing a blockage

 

before checking, cleaning, or maintaining 

the product.

 

Do not tilt the product while the motor is 

running.

 

Never modify parts from the product or use 

parts not recommended by RYOBI, this 

may increase the risk of serious injury to 

yourself or others.

 

Always ensure that ventilation openings 

are kept clear of debris; otherwise, the 

motor may overheat resulting in possible 

damage to the product or increase the risk 

of fire.

 

Immediately turn off the product and 

disconnect from the power supply in the 

event of accident or breakdown. Do not 

operate the product again until it has been 

fully checked by an authorised service 

centre.

 

Turn off the product before attaching or 

removing the collection bin.

Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by 

prolonged use of a tool. When using any 

tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take 

regular breaks.
