surface where ejected material may result in injury.
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark work 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 ing the plug t o 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.
Make sure the filling hopper is empty.
Make sure the inlet and discharge opening
guard s are properly in place .
Check all the parts of the machine carefully to
determine if it operates properly and performs
its intended function. Especially, never use the

replacement parts, to replace it.
Electrical safety
WARNING:
This is a Class I appliance. Connect with a supply
socket with an 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 contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
(e.g. pipes or 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 occur when using a long thin cable ,
this will reduce the power of the machine .
When using the extension cable, make sure that it does
not interfere with the operation of the machine and is
not squeezed or bent, and the plug does not get wet.
When using a cable reel, wind the cable completely off
the reel.
Do not mis use the cord. Never use it for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep it 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.

machine
Before making any adjustments, changing
ac cessories or storing
Whenever the machine starts vibrating or making
noise unusually
Clearing the inlet or discharge opening

Transporting.
Do not tilt the machine during operation.
Keep well clear when you shred long material. It may
spring back and this may result in personal injury.
Do not operate without the filling hopper.
Do not force the machine. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Frequent overload may cause motor damage or fire.
