Do  not  operate  machine  in  explosive  atmospheres, 

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or 

dust. The machine creates sparks which may ignite the 

dust or fumes.

Do  not  operate  the  machine  on  a  paved  or  gravel 

surface where ejected material may result in injury.

Keep  work  area  clean  and  well  lit.  Cluttered  or  dark 

areas invite accidents.

Do not expose the machine to rain or wet conditions. 

Water  entering  the  machine  may  increase  the  risk  of 

electric shock.

Starting up the machine 

Before connect the plug or switch on the machine: 

Check  all  the  screws,  nuts  and  other  fasteners 

are properly secured.

Check  guards,  deflectors  and  screens  are  in 

place and good working condition.

Replace damaged or unreadable labels. 

Make sure the filling hopper is empty.

Make sure the inlet and discharge opening are 

guarded properly.

Check  all  the  parts  of  the  machine  carefully  to 

determine  if  it  operates  properly  and  performs 

its  intended  function.  Especially,  never  use  the 

machine if the switch does not work normally.

If the supply cord is damaged, ask 

 authorized 

service  center,  always  using  genuine  replacement 

parts, to replace it.

Electrical safety 

 WARNING:

This  appliance  is  Class  I  appliance.  Connect  with  a 

supply socket with earth terminal. Improper earth may 

cause  electric  shock  and  death.  Use  only  three-wire 

extension  cords  which  have  three-prong  grounding-

type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the 

tool’s plug.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces 

(e.g. pipes, radiators) during operation.

Use  only  IEC60  (H07RN-F)  extension  cable  for 

outdoor  use  with  splash-proofed  connector.  Its  cross-

section must be at least 1. mm

 for cable lengths up to 

 m, and . mm

 for cable lengths over  m.

Voltage drop may happen when using long thin cable. If 

it happens the power of the machine may be reduced.

When using the extension cable, make sure that it does 

not interfere, is not squeezed or bended, and the plug 

does not get wet. 

When using a cable reel, wind the cable completely off 

the reel.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, 

pulling  or  unplugging  the  machine.  Keep  cord  away 

from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged 

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

Check the extension cable regularly for damage to the 

insulation. Replace it if damaged.

If the connecting cable is damaged, withdraw the mains 

plug immediately. A damaged cable may cause contact 

with live parts and electric shock.

Never use damaged cables. 

Only plug the machine into sockets in tested electrical 

circuits. Check that the system voltage matches that on 

the rating plate.

Never deactivate or bypass the protective devices. 

When  using  the  machine  outdoors,  always  use  a 

residual current-operated circuit-breaker (RCD) with an 

operating current of 0 mA or less.

Operation

Keep your face and body away from the inlet opening. 

Never let your hands or other part of the body or cloth-

ing place inside the inlet and discharge opening, or near 

moving parts. It may result in serious injury.  

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times. This enables better control of the machine in 

unexpected situations. Do not stand at higher level than 

the base of the machine when feeding material into it.

Always keep distance from the discharge opening dur-

ing operation.

Observe regional regulations for noise protection.

Do  not  feed  rock,  a  piece  of  metal,  bottles  or  other 

foreign matter. Pay attention that those foreign objects 

are not included when you feed.

Immediately switch off the motor and unplugged if the 

blade strike a foreign object or the machine starts vibrat-

ing or making noise unusually. Check the shredder for 

damage, and tighten any loose parts. Ask an authorized 

service center to repair the machine.

Do  not  let  the  processed  material  accumulated  in 

discharge opening. Otherwise it may result in kickback 

of material through the inlet opening.

Switch off the motor and unplugged before: 

Whenever leaving the machine unattended

Before clearing a blockage or any fault

Before  checking,  cleaning  or  working  on  the 

machine

Before  making  any  adjustments,  changing  ac-

cessories or storing

Whenever the machine starts vibrating or making 

noise unusually

Clearing inlet or discharge opening

Attaching or removing retaining basket

Transporting.

Do not tilt the machine during operation.

Keep abundant distance when you put long material. It 

may spring back and may result in personal injury.  

Do not operate without the filling hopper. 

Do  not  force  the  machine.  It  does  the  job  better  and 

safer  at  the  rate  for  which  it  was  designed.  Frequent 

overload may cause motor damage or fire.

Use the right appliance. Do not use appliances for pur-

poses not intended. Never intend to feed metal parts, 

glasses,  stones,  ceramics,  plastics,  thicker  branches, 
hard wood or thick wood plates, etc.

Maintenance instructions

Have your machine serviced by our authorized service 

center, always using only genuine replacement parts. 

Incorrect repair and poor maintenance can shorten the 

life of the machine and increase the risk of accidents.

Before servicing, inspection, adjustment, storage, or to 

change an accessory, take following steps:

Shut off the power source 

Disconnect the machine from power supply

Make sure that all moving parts have come to a 

complete stop

Allow the machine to cool.
