keep them safe for later consultation.
To avoid injury, keep long and/or lightweight objects, such as clothing (scarves,
ties, etc.), jewellery (necklaces, bracelets, etc.) as well as long hair away from the
opening where paper is inserted.
If the device is not going to be used for an extended period, switch it off entirely
and unplug the power socket.
Do not insert hands or fingers into the input slot since this may cause serious
injuries.
Avoid all contact with liquids and do not spray any flammable liquids, compressed
air or gases into or onto the device as these could easily ignite.
Unplug or switch off the device before moving, cleaning or emptying it.
Immediately switch off the device in the event of damage or improper functioning
and unplug the power socket. Get the device checked by a specialist dealer or
customer service.
The device must not be operated using a damaged power cable.
Empty the collecting container regularly.
Do not leave the shredder unattended, especially if there are children or animals
nearby. The device is not a toy - ensure it is out of the reach of children and
animals.
The device is only suitable for use indoors.
Keep the device as close as possible to the source of power in case of
emergencies. If possible, do not use an extension cable.
This device was designed to shred paper up to DIN A4 size (80g/m²). Larger sheets
of paper must be folded or cut until they are A4-sized or smaller.
To avoid overloading, ensure that you do not exceed the maximum number of
sheets per operation.
Do not insert any plastic covers or metal strips into the cutting unit since such
materials may damage the blades.
